I work in a large code base with 1800+ crate dependencies (don't ask) with half of them being unstable crates not really published to crates.io. And yeah, we run into this issue a lot. The recent one was caused[0] by human error.
It's usually human error but there's also a lot of cases due to Cargo's choice to go to pick the highest version that satisfies the constraints. It's a reasonable choice on Cargo's part but yes, our team has learned to be very conservative to diffs on `Cargo.lock` and most of our dependencies are pinned.
