+This is a version of Rust that's closer to what Mozilla is recommending for
+compiling Firefox, Seamonkey, and Thunderbird.
+
+To see the recommended minimum and maximum versions of Rust that upstream
+recommends for Firefox (or for Seamonkey/Thunderbird using the backend from the
+same version of Firefox), see this link:
+
+https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/writing-rust-code/update-policy.html
+
+This version of Rust has been compiled with the bundled version of LLVM to
+avoid depending on any particular version of LLVM. This may cause a warning
+from ldconfig, but that's harmless.
+
+This Rust package will be updated in place to follow the requirements for the
+various Mozilla packages in the main tree (for -current), or in /patches (for
+a stable release).
