While I think this change makes sense for wasmtime, I don't think it makes much sense for cranelift, as all crates except cranelift-codegen-meta, cranelift-codegen-shared can be considered public as users of cranelift either likely need to depend on them directly (cranelift-codegen as dependency of eg cranelift-frontend) or are already re-exported by another public crate (eg cranelift-bforest and cranelift-entity are re-exported by cranelift-codegen as the bforest cq entity modules) This means that breaking changes in semver compatible versions need to prevented anyway.

Sure yeah, in general version requirements primarily required for crates.io-sourced dependencies. The version requirement on a dependency declaration is only required on a path dependency if the crate is actually published to crates.io. This tells Cargo what the dependency will be when published to crates.io. For dev-dependencies, however, version requirements are not required because that's purely local metadata which isn't required when publishing to crates.io (and those dep edges are dropped when publishing to crates.io because they aren't necessary).

This means that any crates.io-based testing of these crates will be broken, as @bjorn3 pointed out. Personally I don't think that's a use case we want to commit to supporting because it doesn't really make much sense when we sort out the testing story ourselves.

I can add a comment but it feels a bit off to do so. This is somewhat just standard Cargo stuff. I removed the version requirements where it wasn't necessary but there's no harm in leaving it in. Leaving the versions there basically just makes for version bump diffs to be a bit noisier. Otherwise I fear that adding a comment about this is basically just commenting on the delta from before-to-after, which isn't really relevant if all you ever see is the "after" state where things don't have version dependencies.

Crater depends on this for testing the crates.io releases. It should still test the git repo, but won't be able to test the latest released version anymore.

@bjorn3 you are correct in that this will break crater testing
