That sounds good, but my impression is that rust troubles have tended to
be more on NetBSD 9 (and perhaps 10 now), and on architectures other
than x86_64.

Then, there are other platforms.

As for incoming policy, it doesn't say, but tests on current seem not
aligned with the intent of pkgsrc to support 10 and 9.  (I realize 9 is
getting shaky, because NetBSD releases have been unreasonably infrequent
and 9 is ancient.)

In the past, he@ did builds on a lot of platforms.  (Not bulk, but IMHO
bulk vs not is not that important, in that if things build not in bulk,
and end up failing in bulk that will be easy.)

So while I'm not opposed, I don't think this establishes that 1.85.1 is
ok in general, just on the best-case least-troubled platform.  (I have
no information that it's not ok.)

It might make sense to

  - check with he@ about the test regime and if that might be or is
    happening

  - call for everyone to make replace from wip, src/bin depending on
    what they do, and then rebuild some things, and see if there is any
    trouble
