It's a 10 year old bug which will eventually be fixed but may require changes to how Rust handles type variance.

Until you guys write an actual formal specification, the compiler is the language.

It’s a ten year old bug because it has never been found in the wild, ever, in those ten years. Low impact, high implementation effort bugs take less priority than bugs that affect real users.

The project is adopting Ferrocene for the spec.
