The quality of a crate is based on how well it solves the goal it set out to do.
To assess that, users need to skim the code and documentation to gauge for themselves. There is no universal score. This is a feature, not a bug.
- zaarn 6y agoThat is the quality of the crate, but the maintenance going on in the crate can be separate. A crate can be good quality but also unmaintained.
- mattgreenrocks 6y agoA support contract aligns incentives nicely when crate maintenance is a risk point.
