The shame of those CVE is that it created a split in the rust community between chrono and time. For a time it looked like people were all moving to time (which handling on TZ is a bit stupid IMO since it just refuses to work if there is more than one thread). But with chrono 0.4 now things are stale and there is no clear winner anymore.

I would argue that those splits are in great part responsible for the feeling that rust is hard to learn. I remember to have had to dig into pretty complex time code to understand why it broke our program that relied on timezone when we switched from chrono to time. It hinders your productivity for sure even if you learn the how.
