Summary
In a CI build against my crate's declared MSRV, I get this build failure:
error[E0658]: lint reasons are experimental
--> webfinger-rs/src/types/rel.rs:6:1

6 | / #[nutype(derive(
7 | | Debug,

= note: see issue #54503 <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54503> for more information
= note: this error originates in the attribute macro `nutype` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
The fix for this is to bump my MSRV, which I'm fine with doing. But the process for finding what version this feature was introduced in is convoluted and doesn't have any path from the error message. A good place for that information to live would the in the first comment of the tracking issue link. Adding the info to the RFC and stabilization issue would be nice too. The only place where this is recorded currently is the rust blog https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/09/05/Rust-1.81.0.html#lint-reasons
Obviously this is just one case, but it's something I've seen happen a few times. The underlying goal of this issue is that the link to the tracking issue is not a dead end for fixing the issue, but instead contains enough information to fix immediately.
