Very true! I think the philosophy of letting external crates handle it and seeing how stable they are before considering inclusion in the stdlib is a good one here. Maybe in a few years we see that the uuid crate never needs updates and is super stable, so someone opens an RFC to pull it into std. The thing is it’s easy to be wrong if you’re trying to predict up front what is going to wind up being stable and low maintenance and what isn’t, so the precautionary nature of what gets into the stdlib I think reflects that.
