Description

### Where should the content be added?

In the knowledge base or even as a linter

### What should be added?

We should (force) people to use `cargo install --locked --no-track`. The `--no-track` option prevents cargo from writing `$PREFIX/.crates2.json` and `$PREFIX/.crates.toml` files.

If that option is not used, all Rust packages clobber each other.
