Could rust do with a crates.io alternative?

Eh, they could change #1 if they allow current non-namespaced packages but don't allow new ones. That's a pretty lazy migration strategy, but they could take it a step further and allow aliases (e.g.
serde
can benamespace/serde
, and that's set on theserde
package).But the bigger issue is that the devs don't want to support namespaces.
#2 is the stronger argument imo. A package manager should not rely on a single external source.
