Technically they do via a footnote… but it’s a pretty confusing one at that!
The FLS stood for the “Ferrocene Language Specification”. The minimal fork of Rust that Ferrous Systems qualifies and ships to their customers is called “Ferrocene”, hence the name. We’ll be dropping the expansion and just calling it the FLS within the Project.

So now it stands for… nothing. Bizarre.
Indeed, it would seem that the proper thing to say now is that Rust is merging in the FLS language specification.
Lots of acronyms no longer stand for anything due to losing their original associations. LLVM, AT&T, SAT (the test, not the programming problem), etc.
