Hi!
The criterion crate provides functionality for running benchmarks.
Since we neither compile nor run benchmarks during package builds, the
dependency is entirely useless:
- it inflates the dependency tree, and makes installation of package
dependencies slower
- it inflates crate build times
- it is never actually used, just installed and compiled for zero reason at all
In 99.9% of cases, removing the "criterion" dev-dependency from
Cargo.toml has zero consequences for Fedora builds.
So that's what I'd recommend you do for noisy_float as well.

Hello Hussein,
Since this package has been retired for more than 8 weeks, the
procedure is to file a new package review:
