Really glad you all are out there doing what you do. In my opinion it is the most important thing for Rusts long term success and longevity. No clue what the costs are like for running on Ferrocene but maybe one day I will have a project that'd benefit from it.

So the cost for the basic level (quality managed, one target architecture) are pretty low - about 240 EUR/human per year. CI runners are free. Certification material is billed separately to allow speculative and experimental usage. You only pay for it if and when you need it.

A lot of projects can benefit from that level of assurance since we have a different support tier policy than upstream Rust, that is: we treat different targets as Tier 1. And you get signed installers for windows etc.

Also, with the upcoming CRA legislation, using a quality managed toolchain will make your life easier - one part you don’t have to manage.

That is incredibly reasonable pricing thank you for being open to sharing. Hoping one day we talk from a business perspective. Cheers
