summary

Update on the Rust 2018 edition with concrete changes: raw identifiers, nested imports, visibility tweaks, ? in main, async/await still not shipped, trait-system tweaks. Governance actually restructures release work into separate release and infra teams, builds automation bots, and produces twice as many pull requests as before. Community practices introduce quest issues and working groups to onboard contributors; the RFC process handles big debates (one module saga spans 1400+ comments) and eventually lands contentious proposals after long review, showing both scale and fatigue.
