Maybe there's a better (shorter?) example that can be fully safe code now except the function call? Something like crc32 perhaps that operates on just u64 values and so doesn't need the align/transmutes?
This release blog post will be published live from the stage at the celebration at RustWeek (by @pietroalbini), so I think it'd be good if we put some mention of the 10 year anniversary in this blog post. I'll put it on my to do list for this week to come up with some short text for that. |

Would be awesome to embed a photo of the celebration room filled with people directly into the blog post :)

I think it'd also be good to make clear that the 1.87.0 release itself isn't a special release; just that the day is. There will probably be some press coverage, and I don't think they should report the specific features of 1.87.0 itself as the big 10 year milestone.
Happy to think of some text for this. Probably a separate paragraph at the top or something.

I was planning on doing that for the posts on social media. (Which I can just do from my phone.) Might be tricky to do that in the blog post, though, to do that quickly on stage.

| ### `i586-pc-windows-msvc` target removal | ||
|
|
||
| The tier-2 target `i586-pc-windows-msvc` has been removed. Its difference to the much more popular `i686-pc-windows-msvc` is that it does not require SSE2 instruction support, but Windows 10, the minimum required OS version of all `windows` targets (except the `win7` targets), requires SSE2 instructions itself. |

Initial draft text. I didn't mention anything about 10 years since 1.0 here -- maybe a separate post is best? Open to including something if we want to (cc @m-ou-se @rust-lang/leadership-council).
