Commonly used crates should be blessed and go into an extended stdlib.

Ok, but this is not a commonly used crate. Its brand new!

No HTTP, Proto, or gRPC crate should ever find itself in the stdlib.
Didn't we learn this with python?
How many python http client libraries are in the dumping ground that is the python "batteries included" standard library?
And yet people always reach for the one that is outside stdlib.

You don't think golang's http library is a good idea? I would have thought everyone is happy we have it

Unless there’s a strict schedule for review to remove them, please no… because that’s how we get BerkeleyDB and CGI in the standard Perl libraries.
If anything, there should be “less than blessed” “*-awesome” libraries

Google really dropped the ball with protobuf when they took so long to make them zero-copy. There are 3rd party implementations popping up now and a real risk of future wire-level incompatibilities across languages.

"zero copy" in this context just means that the contents of the input buffer are aliased to string fields in the decoded representation. This is a language-level feature and has nothing to do with the wire format.

I've been running into _a lot_ of issues with Hyper/Tonic. Like literal H2 spec violations. Try hosting a tonic server behind nginx or ALB. It will literally just not work as it can't handle GOAWAY retries in a H2 spec-compliant way.
If this fixes that I might consider switching.
However, Google is also working in a new grpc-rust implementation and I have faith in them getting it right so holding tight a little bit longer.
