   Pattern based support for removing toolchains would be a fun enhancement though as you say you can script it instead.

   While I don't feel this needs to be in rustup I'd not object if someone wanted to work on it.

   @camelid We don't use a lot of the integration bots on this repo, so just saying in a comment you want to do this is enough. We're not a massively popular repo for contributions :D

   Personally, I'd rather do this through shell scripting than rustup itself. I don't see much benefit of adding it to rustup directly.

    FYI, now it's easier to parse rustup's output if you want to script the behavior:

    • Add a "single column" mode for rustup toolchain list and friends #3519
    • feat(cli): add --quiet to rustup toolchain list and friends #3862
