You can think of the Rust Editions as updates to the language, that would break compatibility with previous versions. But the key here is, that you can mix crates with older versions and the new one in one project and cargo will figure out which one to use for each crate (based on the cargo.toml file). That means breaking changes without breaking compatibility of existing libraries and crates, unlike in other languages.
