I never liked python-cryptography in the first place, from the beginning, the hazmat thing let me think that it is an 'asshole' directed project like go.
No offense to be taken, but by that I mean the kind of software where they have some personal principes that they impose on everyone as being the one truth and considering users as kids that need to be framed.
I liked so much more the pycryptodome project that took care of covering the most important things for users like retro-compatibility.
I have worked in the embedded world and there, that kind of sudden change, with extra heavy dependency at compile time is a real pain in the ass!
So, the conclusion is probably like for Gentoo to avoid using the cryptography lib, that would certainly avoid further other unilateral hard sudden changes in the future...
