Andrew Lamb commented on ARROW-11605:
-------------------------------------

[~nevi_me] I don't have any well formed thoughts here -- it sounds like a reasonable idea to me.

>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: Rust

> With all our crates now supporting stable Rust, we can decide on a Minimum Supported Rust Version, so that we don't introduce breakage to people relying on older Rust versions.
> We could:
> * Determine what the earliest Rust version that compiles is (at least 1.39 due to async in DF)
> * Use this version in CI
> * Decide on, and document, a policy for how we update versions
> This might mean that when there's fresh new changes landing in Stable, we'd likely hold off on them until those changes meet our MSRV.
