A few years in between releases with a sane versioning system seems fine to me. If you don’t want new features don’t build with that new toolchain.

It’s not javascript where you need to support all possible browsers.

Teams will disagree over what toolchain to use, and you will read others' code, so this doesn't dodge the issue. Otherwise there'd be no complaint about C++. I don't think Rust is bloated though, every feature has a very good reason.
