[Pre-RFC] DNS domains as package namespaces
Rust Internals [Unofficial]
April 27, 2026
You're assuming that people will publish under personal (sub)domains, not professional. I'm envisioning something like tokio.rs, which is unquestionably used as a source of "officialness". There are many widely used crates that have their own domain (bevy, tokio, and serde all immediately come to mind). While it's not likely that the domains will lapse, it is definitely something that needs to be considered as an inevitability for something.
