Addressed review comments. I also noticed the file had a rather undescriptive name, so I gave it a better one. |

| **Note that Rust 2021 is still unstable, so you can expect bugs and other changes!** We recommend migrating your crates in a temporary copy of your code versus your main branch. If you do encounter problems, or find areas where quality could be improved (missing documentation, confusing error messages, etc) please [file an issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/new/choose) and tell us about it! Thank you! | ||

Do we want to provide some forum for positive experiences? Maybe e.g. an internals or users.r-l.o thread might work well here...

That's a nice thought. Internals thread sounds good. The only thing is that I don't want to give the implication that we are monitoring it. (At least, I know I won't be able to, can't speak for everyone.)

| We are targeting stabilization of all Rust 2021 for Rust 1.56, which will be released on October 21st, 2021. Per the [Rust train release model](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html), that means all features and work must be landed on nightly by September 7th. |

I know there was some discussion on these dates, but can we triple check that we're on a good path to make these dates?

Per discussion with @rylev, I updated the date on the post to next Tuesday. We're closing out a few lingering issues before we are ready to post. |

Clarify that this is the nightly edition guide
|
Dear @rust-lang/core -- we believe this post is ready to merge! |
Per our plans, we want to announce a "public testing period" to encourage folks to try out the edition on nightly. I've dated this post for a week from now, both to give folks time to review and to give us time to close a few more bugs. =)
Before merging this PR, please do a final check with @rust-lang/project-edition-2021 to make sure we are in a good state to go forward in terms of documentation and known bugs!
