IMO panics in Rust should only be used for cases where one would use MOZ_CRASH and so you should configure the rust runtime to abort on panics. I personally don't expect people to write correctly write unwinding-safe code—especially when mixing non-Rust and Rust—any more than I expect people to write exception-safe code (i.e. not at all), and so abort-on-panic is really the only acceptable configuration to run Rust code in.
