Description

Look at how external crates are used in std, requirements for bringing in external crates (do they need to be part of rust-lang?) and who decides what crates to use internally (that sound like a Libs Impl decision).

Research direction

Start by examining how external crates are currently used in std. Determine the requirements for adding a crate, including whether it must be part of rust-lang, and clarify whether Libs Impl decides which crates are used internally. Done means the std-dev-guide explains this process and its decision ownership.
