522 results in servo. Granted, some (but not all) are in tests.

`.unwrap()` is expected to be in every code base out there, as there is rarely much point in handling errors such as tainted mutex locks.

Most of the code you're linking to is unit tests, not application code.

No, I am thinking of application code. If you're trying to handle a poisoned mutex, you're doing something wrong.

Yeah, most of that code is stuff like examples and tests, and most errors should be forwarded, not unwrapped. But yeah, of course if a resource that you depend on is potentially in an invalid state thanks to a thread crashing, it makes perfect sense to unwrap / expect.
