There's a nice new Rust implementation out there; recommend people
do new work on that.

I'm not qualified to say if the Rust impl is complete enough
to replace the C version, so I won't add a reviewed tag.
However I want to say that from the point of view of downstream
packagers of qemu -- especially Fedora -- it would be helpful if we
could direct both upstream development effort and downstream packaging
into just the one virtiofsd. So I agree in principle with this.

We believe it is a complete replacement at this point, with compatible

I think its not a complete replacement yet. For example, POSIX_ACLs are
not supported yet. German is looking into making it work.
There might be other small things here and there, but nothing major, I
think.
