If Rust was a "traditional" project and not following web-ecosystem practices, it would still be issuing 0.x releases though - the language itself is quite far from true maturity (the "2018" version has only just gained NLL, and there are plenty of deeply-impacting features in the pipeline, at various stages of development). So it's six of one, half a dozen of the other...
