severity 1124241 important
thanks


Since I'm the person dealing with this bug, I'm reasserting my 
maintainer privileges within Rust Team to set severity to important 
again. Stated more clearly, the reasoning is:

1. This bug is not serious. "Unmaintained since 2023" is not RC, even if 
it comes with a RUSTSEC advisory (for the mere fact of being 
unmaintained) sticked on it.

2. This bug is probably not actionable within a short time frame, as it 
is blocked by #1125488, which is seemingly blocked by the current 
ftpmasters uncertainty.

3. I do not want to have to remember to ping the bug to avoid 
autoremovals every month. These autoremovals are not needed ("needlessly 
removing") because of 1.

A branch with all (2) Rust Team packages updated to use daemonix instead 
of daemonize is at [1]. Jonas, other than those there's only your 
sccache. I'll file for removal of rust-daemonize after rust-daemonix is 
in unstable, but I'll ping you before that.


Cheers!
