The full details for any particular goal are available in its associated tracking issue on the rust-project-goals repository.

Comment by [Adam Gemmell][] posted on 2025-09-12:

Recently we've been working on feedback on the multi-staged format of the RFC. We've also shared the RFC outside of our sync call group to people from a variety of project teams and potential users too.

We're now receiving feedback that is much more detail-oriented, as opposed to being about the direction and scope of the RFC, which is a good indication that the overall strategy for shipping this RFC seems promising. We're continuing to address feedback to ensure the RFC is clear, consistent and technically feasible. David's feeling is that we've probably got another couple rounds of feedback from currently involved people and then we'll invite more people from various groups before publishing parts of the RFC formally.
