A Grand Vision for Rust

Exactly, hence why people should stop talking about editions as if they sort out all Rust evolution problems, in your own words it doesn't allow changing type semantics

I think you're too stuck on the current implementation. Work is going into investigating how to evolve the standard library over editions. The "easiest" win would be to have a way to do edition-dependent re-exports of types.

What I am stuck is Rust folks advocating editions as the solution for everything in language evolution, when it clearly isn't.
