Gosh they really should have used namespaces, huh.



There's nothing stopping them from just adding the feature like npm.


There are plans to add namespaces AFIK, they are just quite early stage.

Through for a long time (part of rust developers) haven't been very happy with the idea. a stuff like `abcde/bar` vs. `abcbe/bar` are a total pain. But there where two points which pushed things in the direction of having them. 1) Differentiating between 1st and 3rd party extensions of a project (e.g. is actix-XXXX "blessed" by actix or not) 2) companies want this for a bunch of reasons.
