Commenting here since it's tangential, and I don't want to derail your issue, but I think we really need to decide as a community what we consider to be the norm for compiler version support. I think we can be more aggressive than other langs, but different crates have diff needs

I agree. To be clear though, if it were only about MSRV, I could overlook that, at least for rand. I still like the LTS idea that boats/aturon proposed. It provides a rallying point. Adding MSRV to Cargo.toml in order to improve failure modes is also a good start.

As `rand` is a project controlled crate, we can also lobby for stabilisation. You're not the only one frustrated.

+1 from me, seems like this is much more annoying than any MSRV issues that you might also have. The rand folks should agree on a minimal API already and start taking backwards compatibility seriously as befitting a project with its amount of downstream users.
