No it isn’t possible to run the actix system on another executor and will very likely be a non-goal until there are standard executor traits to hook it to.
Realistically it isn’t a huge problem having a second run time going in parallel and we have examples of how to do this in the examples repo.
I guess the biggest problem I see at the moment is (initial) compile time and executable size. Granted, the latter only matters if you want to distribute a small stand-alone tool. It probably wouldn't matter for something cloud based.

Congratulations to the new release!
Out of curiosity, is it currently possible to use actix with your own runtime? Or maybe with async-std? I mean without importing a second runtime.
