@AdamNiederer helpfully reported that faster fails to migrate successfully:

They write:

It looks like cargo fix isn't applying a crate:: prefix to my custom core/std module in a few cases. Manually fixing the imports fixes the build. It looks like cargo fix makes no attempt to fix imports in test modules, so the tests are still broken.

Possibly a case of #48704.

I've minimized this to the following:

#![feature(rust_2018_preview)]
#![warn(rust_2018_compatibility)]

macro_rules! foo {
    () => {
        {
            use myself::f;
            f();
        }
    }
}

mod myself {
    pub fn f() {}
}

fn main() {
    foo!();
    foo!();
}

which yields:

It's unclear to me whether this falls under the purview of #48704 or rustfix. The problem is that two duplicate suggestions are made and rustfix yields an error on this because it looks suspicious. I'm gonna send a fix to rustfix in the meantime as I've tested locally that it works and should at least help improve the situation.

[alexcrichton]

I've attempted a fix for this in rustfix with rust-lang/rustfix#131 which fixes this exact issue, and at least successfully got the faster crate to migrate!

[alexcrichton]

Actually, closing this in favor of #51205 as testing has shown that issue is the only thing that blocks faster
