Non-library tracking

Crates to move out

• libtest

CLI Tooling

Nominating for 1.0-beta P-backcompat-libs

[pnkfelix]

1.0 beta, P-backcompat-libs.

[SimonSapin]

libtest is listed “to move out”. How would that interact with rustc --test and cargo test?

Closing; this has been an amazing cycle!

We'll work on some other way of tracking stabilization requests (probably separately from the issue tracker) from here on.
