Description

The field has no purpose from Exercism's viewpoint. Consider deleting it or documenting its rust-track-specific purpose. Probably in the track config data structure of the rust-tooling crate, where it could be an optional field with appropriate documentation.

---

Why is the `topics` key added? It is only really there for inspiration for the `practices`/`prerequisites` fields, but it serves no purpose from Exercism's viewpoint.
