+## cfg-boolean-literals
+
+* Tracking Issue: [#00000](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/00000)
+
+This feature allows the use of boolean literals in `[target.'cfg(<true/false>)']`.
+
+Those boolean literals always evaluate to true and false respectively, they are **not** subject
+to `RUSTFLAGS`.
+
+For example, in this example the `b` dependencies is always compiled, while `c` is never:
+
+```toml
+cargo-features = ["cfg-boolean-literals"]
+
+[target.'cfg(true)'.dependencies]
+b = { path = 'b' }
+
+[target.'cfg(false)'.dependencies]
+c = { path = 'c' }
+```
+
+For cfgs in `.cargo/config.toml`, `-Zcfg-boolean-literals` must be used.
