I hope that whatever solutions we come up with to handle the too-many-dependencies problem don’t stifle people’s motivation to create and share new packages. It’s not a given that useful libraries are going to exist. Too much friction and people will just stop sharing code.

okay, I'm glad serde is good for your needs. For my needs their approach to parsing is unacceptable, so it's really annoying that I have to avoid some crates because they can't work without serde. Just in case if you were asking for opinions :)

I do think that crates should put serde support behind a feature flag. But Serde’s existence is important. Right now removing win32k in Firefox—a big security improvement—is predicated on transitioning to WebRender, precisely because we use Serde there.
