It created confusion, because:
• lumping marketing of cool features with an announcement of a few incompatible changes was easily misinterpreted as all new features requiring a new incompatible edition (while in fact almost all marketed features were already available in the old edition).
• celebration of features developed in recent years under one big event sounded like all these features were brand new and released at once.
For people who didn't follow Rust development, the announcement sounded like Rust suddenly made a lot of incompatible changes.
