Sure, I'll mention in the v3 commit that this is the product of a survey
among Kangrejos'24 assistants.

No filter, I thought the more the better. I'd be willing to read reasons
to remove entries if anyone objects to any resource in the future.

Will add in v3.

I thought adding each LPC talk as a separate item was too much. But,
adding them at the end of the list, for those who venture deep enough into
the Rust rabbit hole, I think is good. Honestly, we should be doing more to
take advantage of the documentation generated in LPCs.

The rest of the resource index is chronologically sorted. But, for this
heterogeneous collection of blog posts, talks, etc. I didn't see the point
of that. As the project grows, we'll need to categorize Rust resources and
index them for easier access.
