It would be good if the core Rust team owned `rustfmt` the way the Go team owns their extremely opinionated format tool. It heavily enforces very consistent code formatting throughout all publicly available Go code.

Developers like to say they want choice when it comes to formatting, but take it away and you're left with resigned programmers who are very productive at reading code.

^^ Perhaps not the right outlet for this, but maybe you can point me to where this discussion is taking place.

Yes, our intent is to officially adopt rustfmt, and we expect that it will be widly used. It's just not ready yet. nrc, who's leading up the work, is a Mozilla employee, and in general, everyone wants it to be ready. Software just takes time :)
