Another alternative (as discussed at Git Merge when we were last
talking about Rust[8]), is requiring all Rust code to be optional for
now.  If we choose to go that route, I think that means that (a) for
existing components, we have both a Rust and a C implementation
available, and (b) for new components (e.g. new top-level commands
like git-replay), they can be Rust-only and those compiling without
Rust just don't get them.

To me, this sounds like a horrible option, which is exactly what
I earlier referred to as introducing fragmentation.
