Proposal for Official Crate Deprecation Method — Rust Internals
The Rust community is discussing a proposal to introduce an official way to deprecate crates, as opposed to the current 'yank' method. This change aims to provide a clearer and less disruptive path for managing outdated or unmaintained crates. By integrating with the RustSec database, this approach could improve ecosystem health and provide developers with better guidance on crate usage, ultimately enhancing project stability and security.
