What a confusing codebase. https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/tree/d36cf98aa85f24ceef... This package documents a "minimum supported rust version" then goes on to set RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP (cirumventing, enabling experimental features). Very mixed signals - I'm pretty disappointed to see documentation say one thing and then the code do another.

I would suspect the developers are maybe not entirely in tune with the Rust ecosystem, and that would make sense, they have more important stuff to do, like building Firefox, than playing with Rust. :)
