The thing is that anyone can show up and spend time discussing ideas in Rust project spaces. From the outside it is easy to confuse that with actual movement toward landing changes in the language.

(The communication aspect of this is something that has bothered me many times in the past- even people who are lang team members often phrase things in a way that makes it sound like something is on its way in, when it's still just in the stage of "we're kinda noodling with ideas.")
