Say more? I realize there are caveats, but this is a major part of the work the Release Team does on a regular basis.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51934 … comes to mind specifically as a case where crater was used in this way. I've seen that sort of thing pretty frequently, and been bitten by it more than once.

I mean, no question Crater is a used as a mean to gauge "permissible" breakage, i.e. things that are permitted by our official SemVer policy but where we don't want to cause significant pain in the ecosystem. Is that what you mean? If so, do you have an alternative in mind?

I wasn't aware that things like changing allowed kleene separators was under permissible breakage. Excluding std which has its supporting RFC, my understanding was that breaking changes were only permitted for bugs or soundness issues.
