A name reflecting its true role seems appropriate. Drawing on
the Linux kernel experience, I propose "staging". Alternatively,
"trial", "proposed", "experimental", "unstable".
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. :) )
I agree. We should have the idea of an incubator for packages that are
on track to becoming 'standard', but that is probably not the role of
this library. I imagine that this 'extra' library will ultimately
dismantled into individual packages and dropped into the package incubator.
