I have clarified the message that tells the user about feature metadata support being limited and linked to the relevant Rust RFC. I saw this message for the first time when I was looking for the best way to document feature flags in my published crate. It made me mistakenly doubt that I have misconfigured my crate by failing to supply proper metadata for display on this page. I realized that this is not the case only after a Web search that brought me to this Rust users forum thread: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/what-does-there-is-very-little-structured-metadata-to-build-this-page-from-currently-on-the-crate-features-page-mean/137618 Turns out, I wasn't the only person who had difficulty understanding this message. I believe this improved version will remove the ambiguity. I have tested its appearance on my local machine and I'm satisfied with it.
