No -- that is a nice idea that I guess could be implemented in Kconfig
somewhere (i.e. when checking conditions). However, one of the common
things to do when upgrading the minimum is to review/clean the
`*_VERSION` uses anyway (and they may occur outside Kconfig files
too), and also sometimes one wants to upgrade a minimum without doing
the cleanups immediately (e.g. the recently proposed GCC 8.1 upgrade).

Hmm... I think CE uses the Rust-provided binaries (and I guess the
playground too). Do you have a link ("Share" in CE)?

Cheers,
