Sure, so in the case of actix-web, the decision of many has been to stop using the project because it wasn't safe.

I didn't see any discussion of legal liability, just a community deciding to stop using and supporting this library.

(Just going by Klabnik's article, I knew nothing about this library before reading it. There may be more context of which I'm not aware.)

I am not aware of anyone bringing legal liability into this situation, in any form.

I am replying to a comment citing legal liability language from a license?

I was trying to address your "There may be more context of which I'm not aware," and all I was trying to say is that nobody was making claims that somehow the author was violating some sort of license duty or whatever.
