So it's actually off topic for this discussion.

Fix your completion function to honor the c-a-p-f contract (at least 
when it matters).

I wouldn't say no to a milk run, however.

I already explained how these settings get outdated.

Another problem with that idea is that it hints that major modes might 
stop to work properly in the absence of LSP. Or a least some of their 
major functions.

That aside, going back to 
https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/363, it seems to mention some 
extra configuration that is needed to be done for integration for RLS. 
And it's fiddly, and the format how to specify it is non-obvious.

So IIUC you want to delegate that to both major modes that are available 
for Rust currently. And if the one installed by a user will fail to do 
that (or do it correctly), and the user files a report with us, we will 
shrug and forward them to deal with the authors of their major mode 
(helpfully explaining how to determine what major mode they are 
currently using).

Is that the idea?

Touché. :)

Sounds like it should be. If so, my point stands.
