It sounds to me like you "cross the chasm" a little too early. As a user I don't care about your "chasms" I care about high quality durable systems. This isn't the first time I've heard the "we'll change the std lib later" logic. I've yet to see it actually work.

Adding things to the stdlib is way easier than "changing" the stdlib. And Rust adds stuff to the stdlib all the time, like, go read any blog post for a new release and see that there are usually 10+ new additions to the stdlib, which adds up to hundreds of new additions per year due to the six-week release schedule.
