 __Q. What happened to the `rustc` checker?__
 
-A. Sadly, it had to be [removed](https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic/commit/1383c0f),
-since maintaining it in syntastic generated too much
-[controversy](https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic/pull/1114#issuecomment-45945696).
-If you'd like to take over its maintenance as an external checker please read the
-[relevant section](https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic/wiki/Syntax-Checker-Guide#external)
-in the wiki, and feel free to contact syntastic maintainers if you need
-further help.
+A. It has been included in the [Rust compiler package][12].  If you have
+a recent version of the Rust compiler, the checker should be picked up
+automatically by syntastic.
