Description

@Gankra

I filed this downstream but as noted in that description, docs.rs isn't really giving shield.io much to work with to handle the issue.

Downstream issue: badges/shields#8440

Either builds.json should set build_status: true (?) for executables, or it should include an extra flag saying "oh this was just an executable, there was nothing to build".

("Why are you even using the shield" -- because it's a common idiom and what a lot of people reflexively reach for when checking for docs, even if it will just link something containing the README again, with just a bit more metadata like flags.)
