Description

Warning this could easily be a hair brained idea.

Is it possible to use any of the stabalizing crates from rust-bitcoin without using a bitcoin beta release? And/or what hacks would this require?

If we could do this we could potentially not do https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript/pull/874 and then rust-psbt-v2 could use miniscript without us updating here.

Research direction

Start by examining the stabilizing crates in rust-bitcoin and the dependency relationship with miniscript and rust-psbt-v2. Determine whether they can be used without a bitcoin beta release, document any required hacks, and state whether rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript#874 can be avoided.
