Hopefully, by the time Rust code is fixed through the -stable channel,
more people will have more knowledge on Rust.

In the worst case, we could have either the maintainers of the
abstractions review the -stable patches if they are complex enough
(but then why would they be in -stable? i.e. the same applies for any
complex C change, no?) or people with Rust knowledge looking at
-stable patches.
