Why? I mean, the point of bulk-large is that it's still a lot smaller
than "everything".

The build quota times are basically "over lunch", "overnight", and "a
full day". Is there a point in between the latter two that makes sense
as another target?

Also I question what the point of an explicit bulk-desktop is given
that most of bulk-large is desktop stuff.

Since bulk-large and bulk-medium depend on bulk-small, any direct
rustproofing that goes into bulk-small will make bulk-large fail. (Not
to mention it will make builds of "everything" fail.)
