That's a really good policy, and what I said above does not reflect my private opinion but the opinions of a lot of people that decoder projects target. You are in a way more controlled environment.

For dav1d I heard that one of the reasons why C was chosen was precisely this portability concern. format decoders are usually quite low level components and can get integrated into all sorts of environments. I'm sure there is someone out there who made a visual studio project with a 3 year old VS version with dav1d inside for some embedded project. For such devs, Rust is a way harder sell.
