Ever wondered why Cargo selects the *newest* versions of crates? Or what that might have to do with putting compiler versions in Cargo.toml? Well I have just the blog post for you:

I've been generally worried in the past that we put too much faith in a green crater run, treating it as a tool that says "yes this definitely does not break things" when all it can do is tell you "yes this definitely *does* break things", but not the opposite.

In my personal opinion, wording like that strengthens that false trust. Note: I am not trying to diminish crater's usefulness as a tool. It's incredibly powerful and I'm glad that we have it and use it as frequently as we do. Made some similar points in https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/crater/pull/276 …

I think the teams are generally pretty cautious about how to read the results; I'm not aware of cases where we've testing something on crater, seen *no* breakage, decided to ship on that basis and later found breakage.
