I don't have objections to making Rust recognized automatically and
activating rust-ts-mode, if people think this danger is low or
non-existent, and if *.rs files are not commonly used for something
completely unrelated (e.g., I see on my Windows system quite a few
*.rs files that seem to be some kind of Windows data files).
