 #![unstable(feature = "wasi_ext", issue = "71213")]
 
+// NOTE: despite the fact that this module is unstable,
+// stable Rust had the capability to access the stable
+// re-exported items from os::fd::raw through this
+// unstable module.
+// In PR #95956 the stability checker was changed to check
+// all path segments of an item rather than just the last,
+// which caused the aforementioned stable usage to regress
+// (see issue #99502).
+// As a result, the items in os::fd::raw were given the
+// rustc_allowed_through_unstable_modules attribute.
+// No regression tests were added to ensure this property,
+// as CI is not configured to test wasm32-wasi.
+// If this module is stabilized,
+// you may want to remove those attributes
+// (assuming no other unstable modules need them).
