The Rust team adopted a rule in December 2016 saying that all new language features must be documented in the language reference before landing on the stable release branch: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1636-document_all_features.md https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1636-docu... As far as I can tell after adopting the rule they didn't proceed to enforce it.

It's more complex than that. From a development standpoint, doing it this way was a real pain. This is due to the reference being in a different repo than the change itself. We decided to relax this rule last year, and so instead, issues need to be filed. They then get filled in after. This has its own set of drawbacks.
