Scuttlebutt has a plugin system that allows adding support for more rpcs. This module uses features to control which rpcs are exposed. By default, this includes the rpcs of the core scuttlebot module, and the rpcs of the plugins which are bundled with scuttlebot.
The rpcs for other plugins will be implemented in different crates, but can be exposed (behind a non-default feature flag) in this crate as well.
some of the related repositories use futures 0.2.0, whether others are still stuck at 0.1.x. That's because there are a few blockers with 0.2.0, most importantly #857 #858 has been resolved since. And there's also #623.
These issues prevent a better (API) design of packet-stream, which in turn blocks muxrpc and ssb-client. So the stack is currently in limbo between two APIs, completely at mercy of the futures crate.
