-  minimal:
-    # This action chooses the oldest version of the dependencies permitted by Cargo.toml to ensure
-    # that this crate is compatible with the minimal version that this crate and its dependencies
-    # require. This will pickup issues where this create relies on functionality that was introduced
-    # later than the actual version specified (e.g., when we choose just a major version, but a
-    # method was added after this version).
-    #
-    # This particular check can be difficult to get to succeed as often transitive dependencies may
-    # be incorrectly specified (e.g., a dependency specifies 1.0 but really requires 1.1.5). There
-    # is an alternative flag available -Zdirect-minimal-versions that uses the minimal versions for
-    # direct dependencies of this crate, while selecting the maximal versions for the transitive
-    # dependencies. Alternatively, you can add a line in your Cargo.toml to artificially increase
-    # the minimal dependency, which you do with e.g.:
-    # ```toml
-    # # for minimal-versions
-    # [target.'cfg(any())'.dependencies]
-    # openssl = { version = "0.10.55", optional = true } # needed to allow foo to build with -Zminimal-versions
-    # ```
-    # The optional = true is necessary in case that dependency isn't otherwise transitively required
-    # by your library, and the target bit is so that this dependency edge never actually affects
-    # Cargo build order. See also
