Has anyone done any work here on a blog post?

I meant to do this last week but didn't get to it, I'll get it a shot now -- what I'd like to know is whether we have some list of affected crates or other things?

Also, these changes are already in nightly, right?

So if you're stuff builds with nightly, you're ok?

these changes are in nightly and will hit beta in ~2 weeks, we do not have an up to date list of crates (but do have a ~5-6 week old one)

@simulacrum that seems like a start -- it'd probably suffice to just cite the most popular crates

can you point me to it?

let me hunt it down...

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/63565#issuecomment-528563744 is lang team decision post

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/63565#issuecomment-528120122 has a root regression list (but not in a nice format, though sed/string replacing would probably be sufficient to get there)

these changes are in nightly and will hit beta in ~2 weeks, we do not have an up to date list of crates (but do have a ~5-6 week old one)

i.e., in 1.40?

Yes, 1.40 is when NLL became a hard error and AST borrowck was deleted

@nikomatsakis I think we can likely do another crater run (perhaps just beta/nightly, to not wait on a PR) and triage that to get a better sense of the number of roots today

@simulacrum wrote a draft blog post

I'll open something on blog.rust-lang.org I guess

https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/440

I will try and make a beta vs. nightly run happen tonight, should be done by Wednesday I think

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65897 is that run
