It’s very amusing to me that rust is trying to achieve a safety critical certification. Whatever version of the compiler that gets the cert will be cemented for the next 20 years.

Safety critical work / security-sensitive work is completely orthogonal to the rust release cycle.

Not to mention the vast amount of professionals who don’t have root on their runners / build nodes. Putting a ticket in every 3-6 weeks for a new compiler version takes… 3-6 weeks. People give up after a while.
