Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @alexcrichton (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

r? @steveklabnik

Thanks @rjgoldsborough . Two quick questions:

1. I'm assuming that metadata stuff was added because this is the first time it's been run on a cargo that supports it? @alexcrichton ?
2. I think I'd like to make some fixes, but I might send a PR to your PR for them. Thoughts on that? You'd merge my PR to your PR, then we'd merge this PR, which would then include the fixes 😄

@steveklabnik,

Yeah, I just straight copied all that text so it might need some updating.

But sure. Whatever works for you. Just excited to dive in. :)

And honestly, I'm not sure why that got added heh. It came with the build so I left it.

Sent!

Also, /cc @rust-lang/core , given that this is no longer the literal text of the old post. I've mostly

1. Removed speculation about future features
2. Reorganized and added headings
3. Removed other wording that was better suited for the previous announcement, rather than a more static policies page.
