| * `rust-project.json` is a de-facto stable format for non-cargo build systems. | ||
| It is probably ok enough, but was definitely stabilized implicitly. | ||
| Lesson for the future: when designing API which could become a stability boundary, don't wait for the first users until you stabilize it. |

Yeah, that's the opt-in bit later. I'd be happier if rust-project had a requirement of specifying "I_hereby_opt_into_instabbility": true field, such that the moment we remove the field becomes stabilization.
