This refers to the fact that the Rust runtime system ("rt") has been
(or is being) rewritten in Rust, and the new runtime system lives in
the standard library (formerly known as "core", but now known as
"std").
So, at the moment, there are in fact two runtime systems, one in
src/rt, which will presumably go away, and one almost-working one in
std. In fact, I think it's correct to say that std will *be* the Rust
runtime in some sense.
