I don't doubt that some suggestions have come from backseat drivers... but I also don't believe that's relevant. First, people are implementing curl's functionality in Rust (e.g. hyper, reqwest) and it's working out well. Second, you don't have to be the one implementing something to push for improvements- in the general case, that's absurd.

New tools provide the same functionality, get used where curl would have been used otherwise, and when the time is right, curl can enjoy a well-earned retirement in the hall of fame of famous ancient projects.
