Yeah, if subsystems pick the independent patches at their own pace,
then that is great, so please do!

Then, after 1 or 2 cycles, we can do the flag day change on the Rust
tree (with any last changes needed Ack'd, but ideally there will be
none remaining).

It is what did in similar cases for renaming (or moving across the
path hierarchy) things in Rust. For simple things that get Ack'd quick
enough by everyone, sometimes we may be able to take everything in the
Rust tree.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel
