 = Blockers and obstacles =
-- Identify and fix pain points that affect Rust integration.
+This section lists areas where Rust integration could be improved.
-== Raw Rust code (lives in m-c) blockers ==
-* {{done|}} Top-level metabug: {{bug|oxidation}}
-* {{done|}} Android support: {{bug|1220307}}
-** Though Android still not a Tier-1 Rust platform: https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html
-* Linux distro support for Rust: [https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/perfecting-rust-packaging/2623]
-* {{done|}} Need to improve call stacks: {{bug|1268328 }}
-== Rust / Cargo nice-to-haves ==
 * Tracking bug: Make the developer experience for Firefox + Rust great: {{Bug|rust-great}}
-* Artifact caching [https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/1997]
-* Shared Gecko/Servo components are painful
-** Landing/merging process
-* Any remaining crash report issues? {{bug|1348896}}
-* Debugging?
-** Tom Tromey is working on improving gdb and lldb support for Rust. The first step is to establish Rust language support in dwarf that is distinct from the C++ support we're currently using.
-* IDE/symbol lookup support?
-* Code coverage?
-* Profiling?
-** Especially for parallel code
-* Test integration?
-== Things blocking new components from being written in Rust ==
 * Bindings/interop
 ** No IPDL binding generator
 ** No WebIDL binding generator for DOM components (Servo must have something here?)
-** No XPIDL binding generator ({{bug|1293362}}
+** No XPIDL binding generator ({{bug|1293362}})
 ** Immature rust-bindgen and cheddar/cbindgen tools for general cross-language support.
-* Slow compile times
+* Compile speed
 ** Incremental compilation ([https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/labels/A-incr-comp A-incr-comp issues], [https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/labels/WG-compiler-incr WG-compiler-incr issues])
 ** [https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/44841 ThinLTO]
 ** [https://users.rust-lang.org/t/contract-opportunity-mozilla-distributed-compilation-cache-written-in-rust/13898 Distributed compilation cache]
-* Debugging niggles
+** [https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/1997 Artifact caching]?
+* Management (landing, merging, etc.) of Shared Gecko/Servo components
+* Remaining minor crash report issues {{bug|1348896}}
+* Debugging: improve gdb and lldb support for Rust. The first step is to establish Rust language support in DWARF distinct from the existing C++ support.
+* IDE/symbol lookup support?
+* Code coverage?
+* Profiling improvements? Especially for parallel code
+* Test integration?
