There is some really active discussion in the unsafe code wg repo by someone who is building an alternative compiler and has questions about corner cases. They largely seem like fruitful discussions.

These discussions are worth having.

Avoiding the discussions and "forking the frontend to do a different thing" because "omgz rustc docs are bad and rustc devs can't be trusted" doesn't seem too valuable to me (but I guess to some people).
