Description
Problem you are trying to solve
Every few days, I fire up a terminal (PowerShell Core) and run rustup check to see if there's a new stable release of the Rust toolchain available. Most of the time, there isn't a release available, and I'm kinda left wondering when I should check again.
Solution you'd like
It would be kinda neat if the rustup check command would indicate the next planned / targeted release of a Rust toolchain update, for stable and beta release channels, at least.
Think of it like "hey, you're up-to-date, but check back in 2 weeks and there will probably be a new stable release!" or "next week there will probably be a new beta of 1.84!"
