(We already do do this in some cases; these crates are authored by "The Rust Project Developers". For example, the regex crate is one of these.)

Yeah, but that makes them third-party already for many orgs' policies, even if they come from the same set of developers.

As soon as you have to add a crate, you are in for extra review and pain.

I don't understand, wasn't

what you were asking for?

I think that's what I was asking for, but I'm not the person you were replying to ^_^, they were taking a more hard-line stance that it should be part of libstd.

Side-note I really appreciate all the work you folks are doing. Rust has changed the way I write software even when I'm not writing Rust, which is about the highest praise I can offer.

I'd love to pitch in.

Whoops, how embarrassing for me!

Thanks :)

... how would you like to pitch in? I can point you to the right people. We're always happy to have more help.
