This RFC proposes to switch the default Cranelift compiler backend for the
cranelift-codegencrate (i.e., use of Cranelift as a library) and for Wasmtime from the old x86-64 backend to the new x86-64 backend. Details on how we should decide, what steps we should take to build confidence, ensure backwards compatibility, and gradually switch over are proposed.

incompleteness because it is not a regression overall.

Maybe saltwater by @jyn514? It has been a couple of months since the last change through it seems.

I don't really work much on it any more, it uses like a 6 month old version on cranelift. I wouldn't make decisions based on it.

In order to help guiding the answer to this question, how about another question: from the performance analysis that we've made on the new backend, it would be interesting to get a rough idea of the speedups we can reach, and with which associated cost? What I mean is, if we think we can get e.g. a 10% speedup easily (famous last words, but imagine in e.g. one or two months of work), then it makes it easier to accept a degradation in the short-term.
