This is the initial draft for "The incoming Summer of Clippy", talked about in our All Hands.
For reviewing ease, here's everything I wanted to talk about:

  • What's happening and when
  • Why it's happening
    • Too many lints
    • More bugs that we'd like
  • What can the users expect
    • Better lints, more accurate ones
    • No breaking changes
    • Faster development cycle
    • New lints will have to wait these 3 months
  • How can you help
    • Every contribution helps
    • If you want direct help,

We are currently blocked on not having a tracking issue for the good first issues (and we do not have a lot of issues marked with the label in the repo). But I think that this is still ready for an initial review from the team.

Some small fixes. Good job on the blog post!


If you have a lint which you want to be implemented, you can still open and
issue for it, but no one will implement it (also, lint-adding pull requests
opened after the starting date will be blocked for the duration of the period)

I would not call it "the summer of Clippy", but rather by what it is: a feature freeze. All other comments are quite pedantic.


Thanks a lot for all these years of supporting Clippy, we hope that via this
little feature hiatus we can achieve the excellence that the Rust user base
deserves (if that's even possible).

It was more about how to Rust community is so good that they deserve something that nobody can deliver (but I suppose that by using Rust we are able to deliver on that promise?).
