Cargo publish --dry-run - missing validation

help
#1

Hi there,

I thought that cargo publish --dry-run does all verifications to successfully publish a crate to crates.io.
Apparently it turns out that it does not. With a cargo.toml containing more then 5 keywords the dry-run always succeeds but the actual publishing to crates.io failes as it only supports up to 5 keywords.

This is quite an issue as I'm running my publishing in a pipeline and assumed that if the --dry-run passes the publishing should went fine.

Is there any option that can be used to do the full validation before actually publishing the crate ?
Maybe this could be an enhancement request to crates.io if this feature is missing?

I recommend submitting a bug to cargo about this.
