directories-next was created because directories was not maintained at the time. However, directories has gotten active maintainership since, and it has received more updates than directories-next.

directories also has more recent downloads than its next counterpart, so it might make sense to switch to it, to avoid unnecessary duplicate dependencies, where a project depends transitively on both directories and directories-next.

The main question is whether we depend on any specific behavior from directories-next.

`directories-next` was created because `directories` was not maintained
at the time. However, it has gotten active maintainership since,
and it has received more updates than `directories-next`.

`directories` also has more recent downloads than its `next` counterpart,
so it might make sense to switch to it, to avoid unnecessary duplicate
dependencies, where a project depends transitively on both `directories`
and `directories-next`.

I'm not exactly sure what is going on in this file, but with this change, winit is the crate referring to the oldest version of redox_syscall (0.3.5)
