channel where unstable, incomplete, or experimental features are usable with
feature gates.
In order to implement a new feature, usually you will need to go through [the
RFC process][rfc] to propose a design, have discussions, etc. In some cases,
small features can be added with only an FCP ([see below][break]). If in doubt, ask the
compiler, language, or libs team (whichever is most relevant).
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/README.md
After a feature is approved to be added, a tracking issue is created on the
`rust-lang/rust` repo, which tracks the progress towards the implementation of
the feature, any bugs reported, and eventually stabilization.
The feature then needs to be implemented behind a feature gate, which prevents
it from being accidentally used.
Finally, somebody may propose stabilizing the feature in an upcoming version of
Rust. This requires a Final Comment Period ([see below][break]) to get the
approval of the relevant teams.
After that, the feature gate can be removed and the feature turned on for all users.
For more details on this process, see [this chapter on implementing new
features.](./implementing_new_features.md)
See [this chapter on implementing new features](./implementing_new_features.md) for more
