I have a question that maybe someone here knows. It has been noted multiple times in the comments here that at this point, one should just use tokio as the async runtime. (From my limited experience, I agree)

The async Rust book [0] says this about runtimes:

> Importantly, executors, tasks, reactors, combinators, and low-level I/O futures and traits are not yet provided in the standard library. In the meantime, community-provided async ecosystems fill in these gaps.

Notably, it says "not yet". My question is if someone knows if there are actual plans to incorporate any (existing) async runtime, and if so, whether there is a timeline? Also, is tokio in the talks to be the runtime, or is this still open?
