Preface: I'm new to the wasmtime codebase (but would love to start contributing), and I might be completely offbase with this.

Would it be possible to make this the "naïve import type bound" to make Store Send that @alexcrichton was discussing in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/793?

Would it be possible to somehow turn this into the "import object bound" that makes Store impl Send, as @alexcrichton was discussing in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/793?

peterhuene commented on Issue #9:

The problem this RFC tries to address isn't really related to Instance (or Store) not being Send as even if Instance were Send, short-lived instances (implying a short-lived Store as instances are not deallocated until the Store owning them drops) would need to have host functions redefined when a new Store is created.

This RFC calls for defining host functions in a way that is not tied to a Store and therefore can be used from any Store without having to redefine them.

As Module is Send+Sync, this change would allow a "main" thread to define all of the host functions, load the module, and then when a service request comes in send the module to another thread that creates a new Store and instantiates the module without having to define the host functions while servicing the request itself.

Does that explanation make sense?

That makes a lot of sense, thank you! I see how this solves much of the same use case.

Entering Final Call Period

https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rfcs/blob/main/accepted/rfc-process.md#making-a-decision-merge-or-close

Once any stakeholder from a different group has signed off, the RFC will move into a 10 calendar day final comment period (FCP), long enough to ensure that other stakeholders have at least a full business week to respond.

The FCP will end on Mon Mar 9.

The FCP has elapsed without any objections being raised; as a result I'm going to merge this. Thanks everyone!
