I do not think that this is a good idea. We should specify a minimum Rust version for the same reason the Gecko ports do it too. For example ripgrep will in the future always depend on the latest stable Rust release [1] and we should keep up to avoid surprises and headaches for users and porters.

@tobik's rationale makes sense. While gecko@ maybe an exception tracking Rust version in other ports is going to be a headache and not really supported (like any other partial upgrade).
