Hi Greg, apologies, I wrote everything in the cover letter:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260427174429.779474-1-julianbraha@xxxxxxxxx/
and then I wasn't really sure what to write in the actual patch
messages...
I'll spend some more time looking through past RFCs and either separate
things out, or add some repetition.

I've found some ways to significantly reduce the size of the
dependencies when vendored (also thanks to Arnd), details already shared
here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/d72badf8-7d70-4caa-96a9-d77e00bbb536@xxxxxxxxx/
so then we can remove the internet connection for dependency download,
and the Cargo.lock file becomes unnecessary.
