To clarify, without weighing in on the merits of his complaint, what he is saying is that he wants to use Debian Stable's toolchain and is complaining that the ecosystem (crates on cargo.io) move to use the latest features so quickly, and don't have stable backport releases, which makes this difficult to do.

Edit: Reworded to remove disagreement.



I think you're agreeing with me, but framing it as disagreement.

> the ecosystem (crates on cargo.io) move to use the latest features so quickly

They use the new features in new software -- implying he wants to use that new software. If he uses the old versions that predate the new features, this wouldn't be a problem for him.


Yes, I did misread your post, sorry. Reworded mine to be a clarification rather than a contradiction.


I'm not saying now that's opposed.

If you want Debian to curate your compiler version, then use the Debian curated versions of your Rust software for compatibility.
