For me, the v2 re-writes, as well as the "x" semi-official repo are a major strength. They tell me there is a trustworthy team working on this stuff, but obviously not everything will always be as great as you might want, but the floor is rising.
yea, I like the /x/ repos a fair bit. "first-party but unstable" is an extremely useful area to have, and many languages miss it by only having "first-party stable forever" and "third party". you need an experimentation ground to get good ideas and seek feedback, and keeping it as a completely normal library allows people/the ecosystem to choose versions the same way as any other library.
