Well, you're never going to have a stable world when you're constantly pulling in updates to your dependencies. In any language.

And if you stop updating those, you stop needing rustc updates.

Right, but in the rest of the world it's more common for the libraries to support a wider range of compiler and language versions. The culture as of yet of Rust, is that more libraries require the newest compiler.

But that wider range by itself means nothing. It only matters in the context of what it enables and how well it enables it.
