Reddit post: Have we ever considered allowing orphans in bin crates? The main reason for not allowing them is that a dep anywhere in your tree could add a trait and break everything, to put it simply. That's a good reason to disallow them in libs, but for.

Rust community coming strongly in favor of child labor in trash collection
