I could update the distinfo file for wip/grafana with it (not that I

Now that I've imported a newer devel/bmake that fixes this we should
perhaps enforce that it be built if the native version is too old.
(I have no idea how we could add it as a base package though if it's
in rust. If we want to replace the shell/awk/make/... infrastructure
it needs to be in something that we can bootstrap everywhere, and I
fear rust's not it, currently. So we'd need a compatible C version, or
something.)
Yeh, that's why it will always be an optional replacement. At this
point I have zero energy for writing stuff from scratch in C, especially
C that needs to be portable across all pkgsrc platforms, and I actually
really like the model where it's an optional external component, as it
removes all of the bootstrap and upgrade headaches.
I have a bunch of other pkgsrc things lined up in Rust, making use of
the pkgsrc-rs library that I've been developing over time. None of them
will ever be mandatory. However, I would like to make it easy to opt-in
to them, if that's ok.
