 I don't like the bloated UI of the newer 'birds, and when I tried a 
 while back, 115 had serious issues on netbsd-10 with some mailboxes 
 (mails missing).
 
 If it is indeed the case that the rust toolchain is not backward 
 compatible (an interesting observation in itself), there is probably no 
 fix, and it may as well go.
 
 Cheerio,
