- jstimpfle 4y agoSure, I know this. I don't think this contradicts my argument. It didn't suddenly make running infrastructure exposed. But yeah, people needed to find a replacement to continue development (which I hope wasn't hard)? If this breakage is an argument for anything, it is against depending on lots of code that you don't even know. The last Rust projects I tried to build all had on the order of 500 transitive dependencies, by the way.
