As Rust currently only builds on x86_64, that means an important piece of desktop systems will no longer work on other architectures. How should we deal with this? I see a couple of options: 1. Stick with Polkit 0.116 indefinitely, backporting security fixes as they are discovered. 2. Use the newer version of Polkit on x86_64 only, leaving other architectures to "fend for themselves" so to speak. 3. Make Polkit work with mozjs 60. 4. Fix Rust on other architectures. Obviously 4 is the better option, but I suppose it can take a while. I don't think anyone is actively working on it. Volunteers wanted!
