Zeroize while dropping prevents accidental leakage of keccak state, which helps improve security when used in sensitive cases such as stream ciphers. Most of RustCrypto's cryptography projects have optional zeroize support.
Despite the original intent of the library seems to be as tiny as possible, I don't think adding an optional support significantly bloats it.
