This is not always true, as seen with rustc 1.80 and the time crate. While it only changed type inference, that still caused some projects like Nix a lot of trouble.
That caused compilation errors though, which are alright in my book, and don't increase my fear to update.
Silent runtime changes are what spook me and what I've gotten more often with Go.
