Until they don't again because clearly the authors have no interest in being on a stable compiler release.

I don't think people are complaining because switching versions is hard. Just unnecessary, risky, and yes kind of annoying.

This is false, most uses of nightly are because of macros, which will be stable in the next version of Rust.

Then use an older version of the package. Unless the package in question was relying on some "nightly" feature that never made it into stable, then you should be fine.
