They’re plugging away at it. A major milestone was getting unwinding to work. I’d say they’re getting quite close and it’s getting better and better. It’s usable for Linux kernel compilation I believe which unlocks Rust to be used for the non-driver components in the kernel.

This is so cool. That's going to be amazing when it lands.

It’s already in rustup for what it’s worth. Not sure what “when it lands” means but I’m sure it’s an ever moving goalpost.
