A bit of everything sounds like a good summary. IIRC no cryptographer is working full-time to contribute to Rust, so there are no plans to put more crypto than needed into standard libraries.
But serious libraries are more than welcome, and feedback would be great as we get ever closer to stabilizing the language. I've found the core devs are *very* responsive.
