Currently, the fslc distribution does not change anything that might
conflict with those, as far as I know, but you should keep an eye on
the distribution changes to spot any possible conflicting changes in
future.

Usually, the vendor is used globally so you ensure it is compatible
across the whole system. Rust and Go are less fragile in this regard
as it links most libraries (modules and crates) on same binary but
differences on libc or features may cause problems.
