Can you provide an example for the broken-crater claim? As far as I'm aware, Rust folks don't break compatibility that easily, and the one time that happened recently (an old version of the `time` crate getting broken by a compiler update), there were a lot of foul words thrown around and the maintainers learned their lesson. Are you sure you aren't talking about crates triggering UB or crates with unreliable tests that were broken anyway?
I am not following this too closely (the time issue seemed pretty severe though), but there are compatibility changes listed in the release notes very frequently: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md
