I'm drawing a parallel between editions and Go's planned "go2" compatibility.
Whether Rust has some differences in its versioning, the situations are similar enough that I assert Rust's choices are relevant.
The fact that Rust itself may or may not have stability or backwards compatibility (I mean, I think it objectively does) isn't actually as important as the fact that the rust team wants to have those things and has thought hard about basically the same problem Go is tackling now, and has already taken the effort to write down its thoughts and conclusions.
If you want to claim I shouldn't bring up Rust's "editions" work, I'd rather you talk about the "editions" RFC rather than Rust's slightly different versioning scheme.
