I hope we can reach a decision on this soon? Rust on Linux with a fork along these lines is inching closer to being accepted, and (even if it is...

Yeah @BurntSushi the way I see it, for a variety of reasons some of which aren't even technical, there will be a copy of `alloc` vendored in Linux (post merge)...

@BurntSushi The goal is to try to LInux and the Rust standard library drifting apart. The reason for this goal is: 1. To make Linux less unfamiliar for new kernel...

@BurntSushi Also I think there might be confusion around the word "fork". The code being vendored in-tree != forking is constantly in progress. Yes, the kernel devs can do whatever...

Thanks for weighing in @randomPoison! Two projects independently modifying the standard library to add the same functionality that cannot be implemented downstream feels like very strong motivation for me!

Yeah I want to second that having "NixOS" be the umbrella term for the whole ecosystem is confusing and we should move away from doing that.

I would just like to point out that a feature base is the same as a feature. If we required the feature list to never be empty (e.g. if no...

Agree with japaric that plan (b) is the way to. Normally [very much! Haha] want things to be stable code, and hopefully move to nursery crate, but the case of...

I feel like it would be better to just have a crates.io create using `core` that `std` can also use, but I suppose `core` has gotten quite big already.

Oh good.
