 That would mean that, in the default state, you couldn't update the compiler without first
 fixing miri, rls and the other tools that the compiler builds.
 
-Luckily, a feature was [added to Rust's build](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/45861)

 This should avoid a bunch of synchronization dances and is also much easier on contributors as
 there's no need to block on rls/miri/other tools changes going upstream.
