The issue isn't rust itself, but maturin and using rust nightly features (used
only in power-instruction-analyzer, not ssf or algebraics) -- because those
weren't/aren't stable. I'm not aware of any issues caused by stable rust and I
expect there won't be any.

You do realize it will take months of work to redo all of ssf in python --- I
think discarding all of the work already done is a bad decision, it would be
better to take a few-days/week and switch ssf to only using stable software.
