Can you link to the discussion this is referencing? I can't imagine parking_lot outright replacing the mutex in std, rather than being added as an optional alternative... what would be the supported way of deliberately using the platform-native mutex?

The discussion is partially here: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/standard-library-synchroni...

The PR for std is here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/56410
