- linkdd 2y agoThe "maintained" refers to `exa`, which is also written in Rust. Rust binaries are static, which means they need to be rebuilt when security fixes are published on one of their dependencies. Without active development to at least update, the static binary becomes a liability. On another note, the developers on exa did explicitly say the project was unmaintained: https://github.com/ogham/exa/commit/fb05c421ae98e076989eb6e8b1bcf42c07c1d0fe https://github.com/ogham/exa/commit/fb05c421ae98e076989eb6e8...
