Won't nightly be the new stable in about ~15 weeks? That is pretty damn amazing. Using multirust [1] makes it easy to track (cargo,rust) for stable, beta and nightly on a per directory basis, super handy.

Current nightly will be stable in 7 weeks, actually, there's a release a week from tomorrow.

That doesn't mean that everything that's available on nightly will be available in stable in seven weeks, of course. Everything lands as stable and then is made stable at some point in the future, at least one full cycle after it's landed. There's lots of pre-Rust 1.0 stuff that's still nightly-only.

Thanks for the clarification. Makes a ton of sense.
