   > The plan is _not_ to use cargo and automatically download missing crates, as this is not - at least for my understanding - the right path for an embedded system, where we want to control what's going into the system.
   
   Exactly. Thank you for paying attention to this! Not only do we need control over what's going into the system, but with some applications we need the ability to build the same code years or even decades later. My $dayjob still supports systems that were installed in 1990 and I know of other places that support much older code. If the build automatically downloads stuff and the developer is unaware of it, that download location may go poof one day and then you cannot build the code. In some industries that is a big problem.
