>> You can't really expect volunteers to port the whole Rust to other architectures just to get cryptography back.
> It sounds like you're saying that your time as a Gentoo and NetBSD maintainer is worth more than the time of cryptography maintainers. They are volunteers as well, y' know. You expect those volunteers to keep their security-focused project dependent on inherently insecure technology because it would make your own job easier. Your goals and requirements might not be matching the goals and plans of the maintainers of cryptography. It might be unfortunate for you but it really is as simple as that.
The only reasonable options are porting to something else or forking the module.
That’s been my experience with everything I’ve written or maintained in python, which is why I no longer consider using it for new projects.
It’s too bad. I dusted off some old python 2 scripts today, and (thanks to the frozen in time interpreter/modules) they worked fine.
