Hey Steve, thanks for the response. I was struggling to remember, which is why I asked.
I suspect folks see the Rust release notes on the HN front page and assume that it must be a blockbuster release with lots of move-fast-break-things to make it there. But it’s actually like “new library API, some const fns, compilation time improvements”.
So then they think “this language is moving waaay too quickly, they need to do LTS versions”. But this is just speculation. That’s why I asked GP. Maybe they’ve actually experienced breakage.
