[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. Theexample.com/xmlpackage would have the crate namexml.
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.
