[Pre-RFC] DNS domains as package namespaces

Rust Internals [Unofficial] April 28, 2026

jmillikin:

A namespace is part of the package name but is not part of the crate name, it gets stripped off and is not visible to rustc. The example.com/xml package would have the crate name xml.

Note that you can do this today (you can publish a package abc_xyz that exposes a crate xyz), though it tends to confuse users.
