#rustlang people - why are external libraries called crates?

Man at this point we'd either have to ask brson or graydon.

Did you look at old mailing list archives already?

Nah do you know where those are? I didn't even know we had an old mailing list.

Okay so crate predates the archive. graydon was refering to crates in July 2010 which is the farthest the archive goes back. In fact it's the second message on the mailing list! The first one is just an email titled "test" with the message "hello"

Basically we need to go further back.
