Key Developments: #125915 landed which is necessary to start implementation work on min_generic_const_args, a draft outlining the ideas behind the proposed feature has also been written Blockers: no Help Wanted: not currently in need of anything

The past ~month has been spent figuring out some implementation constraints arising from DefId creation of anon consts. My time has also been somewhat diverted to other things though that should have cleared up now :-)
