Is it a minority? Are there stats posted for this? Only recently have I had some projects switching to stable after their required features stabilized.

Only recently have I had some projects switching to stable after their required features stabilized.

Only 11.5% of people say they use a crate that requires it.
- littlestymaar 2y ago> Only recently have I had some projects switching to stable after their required features stabilized. While this used to be very common back then (in 2016-18 many things where progressively stabilized and you had cornerstone libraries switching to stable at almost every release) it hasn't been so for the past 5 years. Rust gets way less “exciting” new features nowadays, as the language has settled a lot (there are still moving parts, but they are the minority not the norm).
