They currently exist behind a feature gate, so there is already some pressure against them.\r\n\r\nI suggest removing them completely. The only thing I can think of that would be a significant issue about removing the glob functionality would be how it affects the prelude. However, we could just special case prelude functionality.\r\n\r\nThe advantage of this is that would make the resolution algorithm much simpler, since the glob import functionality adds significant complexity.\r\n\r\ncc @pcwalton\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/comments/71710474","html_url":"https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/305#issuecomment-71710474","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/305","id":71710474,"user":{"login":"steveklabnik","id":27786,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/27786?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik","html_url":"https://github.com/steveklabnik","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/steveklabnik/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-27T19:24:43Z","updated_at":"2015-01-27T19:24:43Z","body":"What software is?
