Brainstorm with me. How plausible is it for quickcheck to break ties with rand?https://github.com/BurntSushi/quickcheck/issues/241 …

At the same time, I think we can all agree that libs only supporting latest stable is bad for the ecosystem. Foundational libs should probably be more conservative (realising you are one is hard. Is diesel a foundational lib?)
And there is often serious benefit to bumping the min version. MaybeUninit is needed to avoid UB. Async/await enables code you can't otherwise write safely. How long to we hold those back?

Yup. It's hard. A good step forward is to just to keep all this stuff in mind, and treat an MSRV bump as a trade off like anything else. Lots of folks don't do this, probably because the tooling just doesn't make it visible.

Yeah, I agree. Diesel's policy is "we don't make guarantees about MSRV, but we promise we only bump for a good reason. E.g. if bumping is required to implement some feature or remove UB, not just for some convenience function", which seems reasonable for most libs
