• According to the roadmap, Rust should have 1.0-level crates for essential tasks.
• According to crates.io, libc is the most downloaded crate of all time.

Therefore, it follows logically that libc must have a v1.0 release according to the Rust roadmap.

I am opening this issue so that a plan can be formulated and then executed upon.

• What would it take to get libc to v1.0?
  • I see some issues marked as 1.0-breakage, so those would need to be done, but it looks like people are holding off on doing them until closer to the currently-nebulous release date for v1.0.
• When should a v1.0 release happen?
  • We could wait until the end of the year, or we could go ahead and make good on this portion of the roadmap, starting with libc.
