I think it would be great to have a way to tag libraries as unstable
or experimental, but that seems orthogonal to "linked in by
default"/"not linked in by default".

I think of the current `std` not as a place for unstable/experimental
libraries, just as a place for stuff not linked by default.  (Of
course, `std` *is* rather unstable, but only because everything
written in Rust is unstable. :) )
