[Pre-RFC] DNS domains as package namespaces

Rust Internals [Unofficial] April 26, 2026

I think there is a misunderstanding. We are not blocked on an implementation. We are not short on ideas. What is needed is someone to have an idea and explain how it solves the problems that have previously uncovered or making a convincing case why we should flex on some of them. I'm not looking for an RFC or full alternatives section. Long prose documents can be easy to lose people. What I would find helpful to see this worth bringing to other's attention is an analysis of this against the requirements and a contrast with the DNS case and its analysis. From my own work on writing all of that up, I have strong doubts about DNS namespacing. I'm personally split between a simple identifier namespace or organizational tagging.
