I guess at the end of the day so long as cargo has the git option people like me will always get our code fresh from the source, with the maintainers consent. It's not like I'm being forced to use the crates-repo.
Let's agree on one thing we shouldn't be maintaining other peoples abandoned/illegal libs, however thanks to them being posted on the crates-repo permanently, we'll continuously keep running into them...

Maybe. But at least, if you pick your or somebody else's unmaintained code from five years ago, you have a fighting chance of making it compile and run.
