21.4K crates depend on zstd — it's part of the Rust ecosystem's core infrastructure. Removing it from your dependency tree would be extremely difficult.
zstd has only 1 owner despite 21.4K dependents. This is a bus-factor concern — consider the implications for long-term support.
Despite being 10+ years old, zstd hasn't reached 1.0 yet. Expect potential API changes between versions.
At 30KB, zstd is lightweight. Small crate size correlates with focused, well-scoped functionality.
Notable dependents include reqwest, tonic, tower-http, zip, async-compression. When high-quality crates choose zstd, it's a strong quality signal.
