Yes, there are some lang team members that want to change this policy, but it is not the current policy. Those changes were for soundness fixes.
You can see how controversial that RFC was, and for that exact reason.

Can you point me towards an authoritative post in the turbofish discussion that says that it can't happen because of backwards-compatibility changes? Because before it was locked it seemed that the language team wanted to go ahead.
I've been repeatedly told by language team members that the policy you're promising people doesn't exist. I would really appreciate it if there was further clarification.
My understanding is that, again, some lang team members want a different policy. That doesn’t mean that it’s actually different.
So, can you point me to a comment that tells me that the policy still holds and is as you are presenting it?
