What's more, there was a recent discussion about why the derive feature is recommended in serde, and one of the points brought up was that the versions for both crates basically have to be equal. I couldn't help but wonder, would this be a problem if the releases actually followed semver? Theoretically, it shouldn't matter what versions you use, as long as they're above a certain minor version and the major versions match. But since everything is a patch, we have to pin the two crates together somehow.
