Description

Did any analysis or action come out of the poisioning survey? I see that the the survey results are in this repo but I can't see or remember anything coming out of that. I'm raising this because lock poisoning (and duration_since race conditions) has made my team fearful of concurrency in Rust, which has made me sad, but I can't see an obvious solution.

This came up in RustConf so I'll cc @nikomatsakis (I can't find the others on GitHub 😢)
