 Until the `bittorrent-*` crates are extracted, a single workspace MSRV applies to
 both classes, so the decision must be made with the extraction timeline in mind.
 
-**This issue is currently blocked on #1669** (ongoing package restructuring).
-Several decisions that directly affect the MSRV strategy have not yet been made:
+The MSRV evaluation was unblocked and resolved in 2026-05-20: `rust-version = "1.88"` was chosen
+as the minimum floor that avoids `cargo update` regressions on the current lockfile. The long-term
+split policy (tracker app tracks recent stable; extracted `bittorrent-*` libraries keep a minimum
+MSRV) is documented in the Policy Decision section below and will be applied in a follow-up issue
+once #1669 closes.
 
-- Which packages will be extracted as independent crates.io libraries.
-- Final names for those packages.
-- Which packages will share a versioning lifecycle with the main tracker and which
-  will evolve independently.
-- Publication targets and minimum toolchain expectations for downstream consumers.
+## Policy Decision
 
-The MSRV evaluation should be re-opened only after #1669 has settled these questions.
-Opening it sooner risks choosing a policy that becomes invalid once extraction scope
-is defined.
+**Decided 2026-05-20. Agreed value: `rust-version = "1.88"`.**
+
+### Rationale
+
+- **1.88 is the minimum floor that avoids `cargo update` regressions** on the current
+  lockfile. All dependency versions currently pinned in `Cargo.lock` require at most
+  Rust 1.88; running `cargo update` with a lower MSRV (1.85, 1.86, or 1.87) downgrades
+  major packages (bollard, tonic, testcontainers, serde_with, time, ureq, etc.).
+- **Cross-project consistency** with
+  [torrust-index](https://github.com/torrust/torrust-index/blob/develop/Cargo.toml),
+  which also uses `rust-version = "1.88"`.
+
+### Future MSRV policy (post-extraction of `bittorrent-*` crates)
+
+When #1669 completes and the `bittorrent-*` crates are extracted into independent
+repositories, the MSRV strategy should be split:
+
+- **Tracker application** (`torrust-tracker-*` and the main binary): track a recent
+  stable Rust release; there is no downstream impact from a higher MSRV here.
+- **Reusable/shared packages** (`bittorrent-*` crates published to crates.io): set the
+  **lowest MSRV that compiles and tests the crate** to maximize compatibility with
+  external consumers.
+
+**Re-evaluation trigger**: open a follow-up issue when #1669 closes to apply the
+split policy described above.
