I didn't mean to exclude other systems by naming Apt, it was rather meant as an example. The non-Debian based systems, and even the non-Linux based systems are important.
I agree that an OS independent package manager is a plus for Rust adoption. I also think it cannot replace the OS package managers, and therefore Rust should also play nice with them, and integrate as much as possible.

Not saying that means you ignore the idea, but especially an early stage language is going to prioritise trying to answer questions that improve life for the majority of its users, and things that are most demanded by interested, but for some reason dissuaded potential users.
