The paper is now undergoing peer review; some time in fall we will be notified whether the paper got accepted or not. In case you wondered which "important libraries" we verified, the full list is `Rc`, `Arc`, `Cell` (including [`alias::one`](https://huonw.github.io/alias/alias/fn.one.html), which was recently [accepted into the standard library](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1789)), `RefCell`, `Mutex`, `RwLock`, `thread::spawn`, `mem::swap`, [`take_mut::take`](https://docs.rs/take_mut/0.1.3/take_mut/fn.take.html) as well as converting `&&T` into `&Box` (inspired by [Abomonation](http://www.frankmcsherry.org/serialization/2015/05/04/unsafe-at-any-speed.html)). -Our model of Rust is somewhat simplified (e.g., we don't support unwinding after panics); still, we were actually able to [find a real bug]({{ site.baseurl }}{% post_url 2017-06-09-mutexguard-sync %}). +Our model of Rust is somewhat simplified (e.g., we don't support unwinding after panics); still, we were actually able to [find a real bug]({% post_url 2017-06-09-mutexguard-sync %}).

Of course, I am far from the only person who worked on this.
