+%description rust
+This subpackage provides following Mercurial components implemented in Rust:
+
+The `rustext` extension speeds up some functionality of Mercurial, e.g.
+ancestry computations in revision graphs, status or discovery of differences
+between repositories.
+
+The experimental `rhg` executable implements a subset of the functionality of `hg` using
+only Rust, to avoid the startup cost of a Python interpreter. This subset is
+initially small but grows over time as `rhg` is improved. When fallback to the
+Python implementation is configured, `rhg` aims to be a drop-in replacement
+for `hg` that should behave the same, except that some commands run faster.
