    Hi, everyone.

    Just a quick FYI: since Rust is going to be marked stable on the last architecture (sparc) that it's going to support in Gentoo, we're going
    to start cleaning up old dev-python/cryptography soon. If you don't
    want Rust, removing cryptography entirely will be your only option.

    I see three solutions here (except installing rust):

    1) Stick to old cryptography/pyopenssl (if none of vulnerabilities
    impact revdeps)

    2) Kindly ask upstream to switch to PyCryptodome

    3) Write a library that implements cryptography API using PyCryptodome

    The last option is kinda useless but fun. If you find it interesting,
    contact me.

    I believe this isn't always a "don't want", there's systems on which it
    simply is impossible to get Rust (ppc64-linux-musl for example). How
    much does "removing cryptography" impact an Gentoo system wrt
    availability of packages? I see pip in the list, so I expect the Python
    env will be seriously crippled? An estimation of the impact would be appreciated here.

    Thanks,
    Fabian
