As an old skool GNOME user, it warms my heart to see GNOME folks like @federicomena and @hergertme working with @rustlang.
But, are pluggable APIs really necessary? Lots of complexity is added for pluggability.

we can't link statically or even dynamically for licensing reasons.

say you want FIPS, requires certain openssl. or gnutls which has other license restrictions
-
What license would be acceptable for all scenerios(disregarding FIPS for a moment)?
-
e.g. BSD or ISC?
-
we are LGPL-2.1+, so anything compatible with that.
-
What's the project's policy on Rust? Are core components (not plug-ins) in Rust acceptable?
-
very interested in Rust from GNOME-land. But you would be pioneering. (And we need that)
