I dont like rustup. I want my compiler to be stable and change as little as possible. I have already encountered code that wont work without latest nightly and rustup seems to encourage that behaviour.

I also hate that some rust stuff can only be accessed with rustup (eg offline docs).

Looking forward to a "boring" GCC version.

So to be clear, you want it to be harder to update the compiler? I cannot interpret "rustup seems to encourage that behavior" as anything else but that.

Well, it's hardly the fault of rustup that your distro packager only packages rustc and none of the surrounding tooling. It's all MIT, nothing is stopping them, or you, from doing it yourself
