`.await` syntax landed in nightly, and will likely be included in tomorrow's release. If you want to move your `await!()` code to use `.await`, taiki-e wrote a migration tool to make this easy!

I don't know Tokio's migration roadmap, but with the Futures compat layer it should be possible to use 0.1 Futures with `.await`. Alternatively it's possible to use Tokio's networking stack through Runtime, which will be compatible with `.await` once it goes live.
