Supplemental curator note

We selected RustDesk for bringing not only the remote-desktop client but also ID and relay infrastructure back under operator control. The self-hosted backend is a separate repository and enterprise administration features sit behind the Server Pro boundary, so client, OSS server, and Pro should be evaluated separately.
