I can relate to that. It would be great if new language features that make it into the stable version would require a contribution to Rust's documentation in a way that is easily discoverable by interested developers. Which brings me to a more general issue. Blogs from eager developers, who want to land a job in Silicon Valley, which don't contain any direct nor indirect information which could help readers quickly determine if an article is outdated or not.
How difficult can it be to add a date to an article or the version of the Language/framework in question? It always makes my blood boil when I have to find out by myself that a certain blog article, while it may be written well, isn't relevant any more.
In regards of Rust's own documentation some form of diff system eould be great. Last time I looked intonusing Rust was more than a year ago. I would love if I could enter a date or version, and get displayed all changes to the documentation and language between then and now. It would also be helpful when developers have to take over maintenance of code from a former colleague who isn't available any more.
