Python cryptography, Rust, and Gentoo [LWN.net]

We saw a problem similar to that of Gentoo's back in 2018 with Debian and librsvg and we are likely to see it recur—frequently—over the coming years. It is not unreasonable for projects to use new tools, nor for projects to be uninterested in supporting ancient architectures. It is most certainly unfortunate, but we find ourselves between the proverbial rock and its friend, the hard place. Perhaps, with luck, something will change with that predicament.
