+The `wgpu-core`, `wgpu-hal`, and `wgpu-types` crates should never
+require an MSRV ahead of Firefox's MSRV for nightly builds, as
+determined by the value of `MINIMUM_RUST_VERSION` in
+[`python/mozboot/mozboot/util.py`][util]. However, Firefox uses `cargo
+vendor` to extract only those crates it actually uses, so the
+workspace's other crates can have more recent MSRVs.
+
+*Note for Rust 1.64*: The workspace itself can even use a newer MSRV
+than Firefox, as long as the vendoring step's `Cargo.toml` rewriting
+removes any features Firefox's MSRV couldn't handle. For example,
+`wgpu` can use manifest key inheritance, added in Rust 1.64, even
+before Firefox reaches that MSRV, because `cargo vendor` copies
+inherited values directly into the individual crates' `Cargo.toml`
+files, producing 1.63-compatible files.
