 Thanks, that seems to have helped.

 As [comment:8 teor mentioned above], what if an older version of a
 dependency had bugs or security vulnerabilities?  Then we might want the
 newest compatible version without explicitly bumping the minimum version
 in `Cargo.toml`.

 Thanks.  Could you please also explain why someone might want to manually
 edit versions in `Cargo.toml` versus running `cargo update`?
