I think stage0 is unavoidable, but does this need fesco approval? I think the ABI means we can't really ship shared libraries, only static rlibs. Even when the hashed filename is the same, the symbols often change, nevermind actual compatibility. Cargo is also important for truly saying we've packaged rust. But that also has a bootstrapped binary, and comes with a whole heap of dependencies. And since there's no real way to use installed libraries from cargo yet[1], apart from rustc's own libraries, all these pretty much have to be bundled.
