Cargo is the problem for those organizations. People who worry about security and safety often develop on airgapped networks. You can go nostd for small stuff. For bigger stuff you could mirror crates.io but that isn't a well supported workflow and it's a lot o code from a lot of randos. The notion of a blessed subset would help get more buy in from that community. Even still, rustup isn't working on airgapped Dev nets and it's a nice feature especially if you are crosscompiling.

Cargo now supports airgapped use (no crates.io, no github) since the latest release.
Awesome! Can you provide some documentation to get me started? I have been unable to find any.
Thankfully Cargo is an optional component. We've replaced Cargo for internal use (all dependencies checked into the monorepo and compiled with Buck).
