(#7419970)
A package manager will be a forcing function for stability. The Rust team wants to ship Rust 1.0 sometime late this year (I think? Correct me if I'm wrong)
Building a package manager is not a one-month project, and getting it done in parallel with the stabilization of the core means that there will be a full-stack system that people can use and help iterate on as things stabilize, and that will be ready to go once Rust itself is ready for mass consumption.
