A Sad Day for Rust
A lot of this thread has it wrong, and this wrongness contributes to the problem which led to this.<p>I have two simple mantras which establish my philosophy here:<p>1. YOU are responsible for your dependencies.<p>2. Open source participants are volunteers and owe you nothing.<p>It was never Nikolay&#x27;s job to vet actix-web for you, nor did it become his job when the library became popular, nor does invoking &quot;security&quot; change anything in the slightest. Your dependencies are your responsibility. Responding with vitrol, anger, or hate when failing to uphold this responsibility bites you in the ass is just being a jerk.<p>User entitlement is totally unjustified and will burn out maintainers faster than almost anything else. I don&#x27;t stand for it. If any other maintainers out there are struggling with this, please send me an email: sir@cmpwn.com. I&#x27;m sympathetic to your cause and I can likely lend some pertinent advice.
