The Cargo exclude directive for excluding a path doesn't appear to error or warn on negative space (things that don't exist).

exclude = ["directory-that-is-now-gone"]

This becomes a maintenance burden since the exclude is used at various life-cycles of the application, and can become outdated, such that at one time the directory existed and now it does not, and yet the exclude directive silently remains.

I did a brief search, although I don't see any lints that would solve this, either. I tested on both the 2021 and 2024 edition with the same results.
