Hi,

I've been approached multiple times with that request, and a lot of
time I see new users completely destroyed by rust build time and disk
space requirements.

WDYT about switching order of rusts in a virtual?

RDEPEND="|| (
        ~dev-lang/rust-${PV}
        ~dev-lang/rust-bin-${PV}
)"


becomes

RDEPEND="|| (
        ~dev-lang/rust-bin-${PV}
	~dev-lang/rust-${PV}
)"


Existing installs should be unaffected ofc.
But portage may prefer to depclean rust and not rust-bin if both are
present.
Users who wish to use source version at all times can just add it to
world file.

I see both positives and negatives of doing that, but would like to
reach out to community first.

Thanks!
