Rust projects do not care about the limits of a distro, they just say use rustup, so future fixes will be left out of Ubuntu sometimes.

- SAI_Peregrinus 2y agoThat's hardly unique to Rust projects. Quite a few projects in other languages (e.g. Python) don't care about distro limitations & fixes get left out of Ubuntu. Even C has that issue. "Stable" distros only get the updates the maintainers can backport.
- TingPing 2y agoSure but the “stable tools” are currently C and those projects probably build on a decade old distro. Replacing them with faster moving projects will hit issues.
