It is not clear why this was forked originally. One reason was to avoid
the sys-apps/lsb-release dependency, but it probably wasn't just that.
It seems likely that the upstream package did not support cross targets
at the time. Now it does.
It appears that LTO was previously enabled by us following Gentoo rather
than through an explicit decision. They now disable it by default, so we
do likewise. It previously used "fat" LTO, which makes Rust especially
slow to build and reportedly made rustc slower than with "thin" LTO!
There seems little benefit in using thin LTO given that we rebuild Rust
almost as much as the packages that use it, plus we don't enable LTO
anywhere else.
We still avoid rustdoc to keep the size down using INSTALL_MASK. This
isn't as good as not building it in the first place, but this alone
isn't worth keeping a fork.
Cross targets are now handled via the admittedly experimental
RUST_CROSS_TARGETS support. This has been in place for a while, and I
think it is fairly widely used now. If it does disappear, it would
almost certainly be for something even better.
This also updates Rust from 1.80.0 to 1.80.1.

Landlock is a feature to create security sandboxes thanks to 3 dedicated
system calls. They are designed to be safe to used by any processes,
which can only drop their privileges, similarly to seccomp.
The new Landlock LSM is build in the kernel (CONFIG_SECURITY_LANDLOCK=y)
but it is not enough to make it usable by default. As a stackable LSM,
it is required to enable it at boot time with the CONFIG_LSM list. See
https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/landlock.html#kernel-support
As for other stackable LSMs, prepending Landlock to the default LSM list
enables users to potentially get more protection by default by letting
programs sandbox themselves.
As a dependency, CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH=y will be automatically set.

Catalyst 4 has totally changed the way repositories are handled. It only
works when the name of the directory containing the repository matches
the configured name of that repository. This was not the case for us,
with the coreos repository residing in the coreos-overlay directory. We
wanted to move and rename our repositories anyway, but this is a big
change, so we'll do separately. For now, this just renames coreos to
coreos-overlay.
Catalyst 4 also ingests the main repository snapshot as a squashfs
rather than a tarball. It features a utility to generate such a
snapshot, but it doesn't fit Flatcar well, particularly because it
expects each ebuild repository to reside at the top level of its own git
repository. It was very easy to call tar2sqfs manually though.
