In fairness though, it's very unlikely that Rust will be distributing an official HTTP library by 1.0 - it's a big, difficult, library, the type which deserves to prove itself in for awhile before settling on. For these types of libs my planned trajectory is to integrate with Servo, make them installable via the package manager, let them stew in the wild until we're confident, then 'flip a switch' and declare them official.
- glenjamin 12y agoGiven that people are working on a high quality package manager, what do you gain when you "flip the switch" and make it official, rather than just having it be the most used HTTP package?
- brson 12y agoYou don't gain much at that point, and that's the aim: a process that allows the best libraries to smoothly progress from community projects to official components, without any major disruptive events along the way.
