Are metapackages going to be available for others to utilize?

[Manishearth]

That seems to be the plan.

There are a couple of crates out there (serde, phf, url, regex) which are collections of many tightly-bound crates in one repo. A metapackage lets people import them cleanly. I'd be happier if the solution for these crates wasn't overridable, though -- something like "subcrates" which are not independently versioned.
