Hi!

in general we do not package alpha/prerelease versions. From a cursory
glance at upstream issues/PRs/discussions, it also doesn't seem like
this is a "almost done" RC-like alpha version, but there are still quite
a few blockers for the real 2.0 to be cut..

it seems like it's actually serde-saphyr which is pulling in smallvec,
and it started out using the alpha versions from the get go, so
downgrading it to 1.x probably requires some work..
