Brainstorm with me. How plausible is it for quickcheck to break ties with rand?https://github.com/BurntSushi/quickcheck/issues/241 …
I don't work in crypto. I'm happy to have crypto people tell me the policy doesn't work for them. But that doesn't mean it others can't or shouldn't adopt it.

I don't like LTS releases for the same reason I didn't like--and fought against--Firefox's ESR (and was ultimately forced to do it). Takes resources from present and future to accommodate people stuck in the past. Codifies bad practices as accepted and encouraged

I maintain dozens of crates. I am just not always going to be able to keep all of them up to date with every best practice. Code needs to be able to sit without needing my attention every 6 weeks. This is churn, and ALSO takes resources.

I make these arguments more in favor of other open source maintainer’s interests. As soon as there is an LTS type policy, they will get bullied into doing extra free work to support it. It already happens, and they’re not in a position to say “LTS is dumb, I opt out” like I can.

I don't buy that, sorry. You could say that about a lot of stuff. I could put out code with zero docs, and people would rightfully ask me for some. Or just pass on using the code at all.
