These are fair points. I've addressed them in comments within the main thread.

We (me, at the moment) am making changes to the original post and the repositories themselves, to clarify intent here.

TLDR: there was a bit of a "the chicken and the egg" problem with cloud native Rust. My approach might not have resulted in the cleanest "launch", but with few volunteer hours and nothing similar in existence, I wanted to at least provide a sandbox or canvas for issue/discussion filers to help dictate where it goes next.
