There is certainly no grand upstream plan to corrode everything. Devs will 
always use what gets their job done though, and Corrosion is the necessary 
glue between CMake and rust/cargo. There are two other packages making use of 
it for some time, that we haven't been able to implement in packaging yet for 
lack of the eclass integration: akonadi-search and kdepim-addons.
