Comment on Cargo, Rust's Package Manager

Comments

While I support semantic versioning, people need to be aware that it's only as good as the package maintainer. I have used packages that have (unintentionally) broke semver conformity. Nothing really stops an author from releasing breaking changes when going from "1.2.1" to "1.2.2".

The goal is to use package manager defaults and community pressure to keep things on the straight and narrow. We'll see how it goes!
