It depends on what you guys are talking about. If you mean "constant" primitives, i.e. things which don't require to expand the language grammar or type system, then it's a question of future prevalence of usage of said primitives. If they become almost ubiquitous to any project, then they obviously need to be included in the standard libs. If you're talking about a new language feature, that depends on how much that new feature may help design and write future libraries, and also what are the aims of said language. I understand that rust aims to become a safer system language, so any feature helping the design of low level, performance critical code should be welcome.
