I'm torn on this, In the past, I've been broken by changes breaking me.

On the other hand, you have you have an open source project that has to deal with the schedule/quality/cost trade off and people are expecting support for particular platforms without there being funding coming in to support those efforts. How much free work do they do so other people's company's continue to function?

Yeahhh, I understand the frustration of a breaking change to the build system, but I don't understand the vitriol at the maintainers.

Ultimately, projects upgrade/move. If you are dependent, that's something you need to deal with. If you're not ready to deal with it, then pin your dependencies until you are.

Many of the issues in the thread aren't necessarily problems with cryptography - for example pip not being able to deliver wheels to Alpine.
