The 2025h2 goal period is now over, so I'm closing this issue. Thanks to everyone who contributed! This work continues in the 2026 period via the Rust for Linux roadmap, which includes the Arbitrary Self Types, build-std, Full Const Generics, Const Traits, Field Projections, In-place initialization, Immobile types and guaranteed destructors, and Supertrait auto impl goals. Authors are welcome to leave a final comment about the goal's outcome.
There has been a lot of progress and the regular meetings were as useful as always, thanks a lot everyone!
(and to Tomas for keeping track of things and taking minutes, even when the meetings ran over :)
I hope the next period will be the one that sees the Linux kernel essentially removing the last three unstable language features we use (modulo the new ones being added), and getting very close to finishing the list of the compiler features side too.

The 2025h2 goal period is now over, so I'm closing this issue. There has been activity in the goal's zulip channel since the last update, but I encourage the authors to comment here about the goal's outcome.
It's not done, but we're active. I perhaps should have made an update to the Project Goal. But briefly:
- We have wrapped up our interviews and surveys
- We are working on publishing blog posts that dig into different topics about the data
- We may eventually write up some "recommendations" directly to the Project, though our blog posts have these generally
- We're also considering writing up a white paper to publish on our methodology that we would work on later in the year
- The idea is to spin off the Vision Doc work into a "User Research Team", which covers a lot of the same ideas, but with different goals and focuses
