The editions were a bad idea. And worse they led to completely shutting down the idea of a Rust 2.0 which dumps all the flawed ideas for which better solutions have been found. So they have to work twice as hard to continue maintaining code to support features that people shouldn't be using anymore anyway. If dropping support for unmaintained crates lead to an ecosystem where one could reasonably integrate crates one wants to use together that'd be way better than the situation we currently have where old crates still compile but nothing agrees on the proper way to do anything and a large number of crates can't update to the new idioms because they need to remain minimally usable in relation to slow moving or abandoned crates.
