oops, disregard the last push. I mistakenly pushed the wip layout implementation to the wrong branch. Reverted that commit |

| Enables the new build-dir filesystem layout. |

The new layout won't be that useful enough to stabilize on its own, right? Anyway the layout changing itself could lead to unexpected breakages to workflow making assumption of the layout, so agree it is better having its own unstable flag.

Yeah it seems unlikely that this alone would give users a tangible benefit, but I think there is value in allowing tool authors to test their cargo integration with the new layout.
Part of me is wondering if it would be a good idea to bundle the layout changes with moving the default build-dir location to inside of CARGO_HOME (or perhaps using XDG config #1734 ?)
My thought is that it might be easier to bundle both of these changes together to avoid churn in the default build-dir behavior.

Probably not? I feel like they are different kinds of churn. And XDG is always a hot topic that I am afraid of touching 😆.

Agreed that these are independent changes.
My hope was to have fine grained locking be the feature to push this to being stabilized.
