# Objective
- Optional dependencies were enabled by some features as a side effect. for example, enabling the `webgl` feature enables the `bevy_pbr` optional dependency
## Solution
- Use the syntax introduced in rust 1.60 to specify weak dependency features: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/04/07/Rust-1.60.0.html#new-syntax-for-cargo-features
> Weak dependency features tackle the second issue where the `"optional-dependency/feature-name"` syntax would always enable `optional-dependency`. However, often you want to enable the feature on the optional dependency only if some other feature has enabled the optional dependency. Starting in 1.60, you can add a ? as in `"package-name?/feature-name"` which will only enable the given feature if something else has enabled the optional dependency.
