This looks like another set of Rust proposals that are going to go exactly nowhere. Skimming, looks like the PR was closed, and the RFC has been open since 2015. Again, Rust is a great language. I work in it fulltime. But this is not a focus it currently has. Hell, they can't seem to get allocator-api and simd stable, after years. Embedded has taken a very... backseat to webby, async stuff, unfortunately.

As much effort as the team outs on having a coherent progression and cater to as many customers as possible, Rust is still a show-up-ocracy. If there aren't people with enough desire to implement a proposal, it doesn't happen. Features have stalled because of fundamental issues that require going back to the drawing board (allocator api), sometimes for CS research level (specialization) or usability (TAIT) questions, or the person working on the feature burned out right before the final push, and there was no one else to pick up the work afterwards.
