Highlights

The FCPs from last week were resolved as:

• FCP PR #1254 ordered ranges 2.0 -- moved out of FCP after @aturon's last comment
• FCP PR #1255 RFC: Stabilize OS string to bytes conversions -- closed
• FCP PR #1257 RFC: .drain(range) and .drain() -- merged

The following RFCs have been moved into FCP:

This week we also decided to move the unix-socket crate into the nursery.
