[Pre-RFC] DNS domains as package namespaces
Rust Internals [Unofficial]
April 27, 2026
Scenario, in order:
1. User A registers domain X.
2. User A publishes a crate under the X namespace.
3. Domain X lapses.
4. User B registers domain X.
5. User B publishes a different crate under the X namespace.
My understanding of your proposal is that this would be permitted? imo this is a serious issue, as two things would be shown as connected despite having no common ownership.
