Establish the initial round of Rust Project Goals for 2026 along with a set of current roadmaps, which describe multi-year development arcs.

New Rust Project Goals may be added over the course of the year but only if all required resources (champions, funding, etc) are already known.

Important

When responding to RFCs, try to use inline review comments (it is possible to leave an inline review comment for the entire file at the top) instead of direct comments for normal comments and keep normal comments for procedural matters like starting FCPs.

This keeps the discussion more organized.

It's still unclear to us what the opsem ask even is here. This doesn't sound like a goal that has opsem aspects.

The opsem ask was unclear to us here, this seems to be mostly about library documentation. Without a libs champion, is this goal even happening?

The asks are all Small, so the goal doesn't need champions

We haven't found someone who's able to dedicate substantial amounts of time for this. The usual kind of opsem questions/feedback we handle on Zulip are fine of course.

That's alright because the ask is Small.
