> It will be frustrating and hard for downstreams to reason about what combination of crate versions are compatible with one another if they are versioned independently. Usually I just look at crates.io if I'm using an older version of crates; however, I'm most likely to use the most recent versions if the project is adhering to SemVer like the majority of the Rust community. > Currently we try hard to keep breaking changes small, at worst requiring updating a few call sites, we're additionally going to try delaying breaking changes to a quarterly schedule after the next release. I suggest we proceed with that as the plan and circle back in 6 months and assess. This doesn't help users who are currently dealing with supporting multiple major versions for the low-level crates which independently don't have a reason to have multiple major versions... -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
