One thing I'd like to see is a MSRV policy, as its causing problems for downstreams (https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/issues/1555)

https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/pull/8325/ is an interesting case study there. In rust-analyzer, we used to use bitflags solely to pack several bool fields into u8. For that use-case, turns out that doing bitpacking manually is roughly as ergonomic as using bitflags crate. Ideally, for this use-case, I’d just write a struct with a bunch of bool fields annotated with some kind of #[packed] attribute.
