I would like the code developed now to work with all subsequent rust releases until 2.0 so that I can take advantage of improvements to the compiler and std libraries without any additional effort. A small effort may effort may be required if there were security/critical bugs.

Rust is doing exactly that.

The Rust compiler is run against all the open-source crates published on crates.io to measure the impact of changes prior to release.

Don't use nightly, and your wish is granted!
