Description
We probably don't want to indefinitely have a large number of facade crates which are all unstable, so we should eventually stabilize these crates, fold them back into the standard library, or find a good middle ground in which they can all reside.
The current set of crates considered under this issue are:
rustc_unicode
libc
collections
alloc
rand
Update 2018-04-05:
libc
andrand
have moved to crates.iocollections
was merged intoalloc
rustc_unicode
was renamed tostd_unicode
and later merged intocore
This leaves only the alloc
crate still unstable, which with the stable core
and std
crates (plus arguably proc_macro
) form the standard library.
Update 2018-06-19:
RFC 2480 proposes stabilizing the alloc
crate, which would close this issue.
