I think Rust team would still have a very small stdlib even if they have more funding, here's a talk[0] where they aim to be relevant for the next 40 years, in that time span there would be a lot of changes and to be backward compatible, you cannot have features in your stdlib that will be irrelevant or change in the next 5, 10, 15, 20 years.

That’s a great point indeed. In Java and C++, there have been quite a few deprecations over the years and decades. In the Rust community, there’s unfortunately quite a lot of interesting but abandoned crates.

What changes are set to be made to the file format of PNGs that would prevent it from being relevant in the standard library 40 years from now?
