  Hmm, I would actually consider that the strongest selling point of this series. The other case (the 6.8% improvement) doesn't seem enough to justify all this code.

  I don't see this as much of an argument for discovery in Rust. I only care about practically measurable differences. The only real improvement was that "pull into mozilla-try repo from mozilla-unified" case.
  
  I'm fine with taking this series if we think that that use case is important enough to justify the extra maintenance of having a second implementation of the discovery code. I wouldn't think that use case is very common, but I'm guessing that the fact that you spent time on this series means that you have customers with repos with similar characteristics.
  
  What do others think?
