I guess that your idea is to have a system rust compiler installed via a package, and a user rust compiler installed via rustup? I see the appealing of this.
I packaged it in my home[1] and submitted a request[2] in hopes that it would get into Factory, but in the end, I didn't get much feedback beside from Neal Gompa. I decided to revoke the request. As you can see in the request, I talked about rust and rustup coexisting, but this would need a bit more work.
I think that this is critical. PIP is available in openSUSE as a mean to install Python packages, but executing it as root will install a system wide Python package and will break your system. There is some parallelism with rustup here, but as PIP is distributed in openSUSE, rustup can also be.
I didn't look into this, but I'm willing to do it. It definitely seems to be possible as documented[3] upstream.
