2021 Edition RFC

[nikomatsakis]

I just figured I'd add this as a reminder to check in on the 2021 Edition RFC regularly rust-lang/rfcs#2966.

This issue is an item on the Core Team's public agenda, and the team will discuss it every week during the triage meeting. The goal of the issue is to provide a public record of our discussion, so only members of the Core Team are allowed to comment here.

Please get in touch with the Core Team by emailing core-team@rust-lang.org if you have something to add!

Discussion seems to be centered about the question of how much to separate the "retrospective" (what has happened over the last N years?) from the "edition" (what migrations or new lints are required to use edition = X?)

Summary comment of alternative proposal and some further considerations.

today: just a general "hey check out this RFC, we'll have to decide on it eventually." Lots of comments!

[steveklabnik]

Today: niko and I need to chat about the feedback we've gotten, stuff has died down

[steveklabnik]

Today: no updates because there were too many things going on in the past week, niko and i are gonna sync up and present a plan next week

[steveklabnik]

@nikomatsakis and I had a meeting about it, and he posted a comment on our behalf to get more information about some objections.

[steveklabnik]

it has been a busy week. @nikomatsakis and i are gonna talk this week about moving forward.

[steveklabnik]

We didn't talk about this this week, but we are trying to move things forward.

[Mark-Simulacrum]

We also publicly committed to having this ready by October 15th (September 3rd + 6 weeks).

[steveklabnik]

We talked async a bit, but didn't find a common time to chat yet. Soon!

[nikomatsakis]

Update: still waiting on folks to review the RFC.

[steveklabnik]

@ashleygwilliams has left a big review that @nikomatsakis and I need to read and respond to.
