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
