With Rust 1.74 or newer, it is possible to use --package syn@2. Is there anything preventing to bump our MSRV? Debian is at 1.85.

Dunno.

I took a look at a random selection of reverse dependencies. arboard has an MSRV of 1.71 Same for softbuffer. xkeysym is even at 1.58.1 and depends on an older version of x11rb. global-hotkey has a MSRV of 1.77 and vulkano uses 1.84.

But syn does frequent enough releases that the pinning I propose in this PR does not really work.

I guess bumping the MSRV to 1.68 is the best course of action. That's syn's MSRV and that removes the need for pinning an older version in CI.

Alternatively, we could somehow exclude the cairo-example from the MSRV build. Only that depends on syn. 🙈
