I personally treat it as a supply chain risk, as there are no longer any way to report any bugs and security problems.
absurdly skewed gender representation, actually! :)

That's the totality of the message.

Weirdly enough, the concept of "an environment I don't personally find welcoming is unwelcoming — and better gone" strikes me as rather unwelcoming and indicative of a diet in severe need of iron-y supplementation.

This is yet another of several reasons why we've switched from httpx to pyreqwest[0]. Not only is httpx an actual supply chain risk now, but also it shows an unwillingness to fix outstanding bugs and issues, which is problematic in a project that has been adopted by so many users.

For those migrating, pyreqwest provides a completely httpx-compatible wrapper.[1]
