Take a survey of how many companies are or will ever be on RHEL 8...Most likely only the ones that have 100% of their infrastructure on RHEL and nothing else.

Take a survey of how many companies are or will ever be on RHEL 8...Most likely only the ones that have 100% of their infrastructure on RHEL and nothing else. A rare few, even in finance these days. I'm not trying to have my cake and eat it to, I'm asking for package maintainers to use their fucking brains. pyca/cryptography only runs on Rust 1.41 now after efforts that were made to downgrade to a more stable/available/packaged Rust version. And on the Rust community/leadership, urging everyone to use the bleeding new (curl rustup | sh) instead of stable packages is herding a bunch of lemmings who really should know better, professionally speaking, into building a world that is less maintainable than when they started.
