I agree we need to fix the ergonomics here, but I don't think you
should be so hard on cargo. The hash checking is designed to make
builds more reproducible, so that unless we make an explicit diversion
we know we're building with the same source as every other use of that
same package version. This has benefits for security, debugging, and
change control.
