> As for versioning dependencies together at the top level, again I'm unfamiliar with Rust, but this tip seems too specific. I've seen large codebases where having different dependency versions was fairly important or even a core use-case. It's nice if it's possible, but the bigger the codebase the more this will necessarily come into question. What you can do in your toml files is, in the top level you give the "workspace version" of every dependency, and then in the projects you tell them to use either workspace version or some other specific version. That way, most of your projects will use the same, while you can change the few that need a specific one.
