Until the Rust ecosystem becomes more stable, it is better to upgrade it regularly than have a stale tool nobody can really use. There are even crates that work only with nightlies for now, so trying to stay on par is necessary to make it useful. Also, although I am big fan of dynamic linking we should probably keep Rust program built statically for now, until Rust gets a stable ABI, or the breakages will defeat any advantage we may get.
