I'm actually questioning if libraries keeping a "minimum rust version supported" is worth the trouble. Is it so bad to just track stable?
It's a fair viewpoint. I meant more that if distros receive complaints that that their packaged software is too old to compile anything useful, maybe they'll move faster (lol who am I kidding ;_;)

i mean, it takes less effort for me to "support old compilers" by never touching my code after writing it from my perspective, other people are putting "effort" in by publishing updates with the newest features, that don't meaningfully affect their api otherwise

all i'm asking is to treat "your code will break (unless you update your compiler)" as a breaking change, and to version appropriately if you must publish a version, update the number such that my Cargo.toml will still work on CI, where i don't push a lockfile
