Highlights
Here at the start we have only a handful of RFCs, but there is quite a lot of pending work and future projects to get the ball rolling on throughout the rfcs, rust, cargo, and crates.io repos. To highlight a few prominent issues that may have quite a large impact:
- rust-lang/cargo#482 Specifying a custom output directory for Cargo
- rust-lang/cargo#1007 Making platform-specific dependencies much more ergonomic and robust.
- rust-lang/rfcs#1061 Filling in the next set of cracks in Rust's MSVC support.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, so be sure to check out many of the P-high issues below for more upcoming projects!
