Yes. I just noticed that Tokio was pulled into my program as a dependency. Again. It's not being used, but I'm using a crate which has a function I'm not using which imports reqwest, which imports h2, which imports tokio.

Exactly, because something somewhere needs to make one http call, and it's would be impossible if it wasn't done with scalable async executor. /i

PR them to use ureq. ;)

I recently did this in a relatively small crate, and it halved the dependencies. Highly recommended if you don't need async.
