The problem starts when people begin doing this often.

This is not the case with a C compiler.  For example, I can compile most
C and C++ software currently in existence with GCC 4.0.  And most such
software will also work fine GCC 13.1.

Could you do the same with a Rust compiler from 2006, or even 2015?
