Commonly used crates should be blessed and go into an extended stdlib.

Ok, but this is not a commonly used crate. Its brand new!

No HTTP, Proto, or gRPC crate should ever find itself in the stdlib.

Didn't we learn this with python?

How many python http client libraries are in the dumping ground that is the python "batteries included" standard library?

And yet people always reach for the one that is outside stdlib.

Unless there’s a strict schedule for review to remove them, please no… because that’s how we get BerkeleyDB and CGI in the standard Perl libraries.

If anything, there should be “less than blessed” “*-awesome” libraries
