Lib.rs has previously been editorializing the crates within the search algorithm on their site based on their own personal preference. However, they recently have taken it a step too far in labeling the bitcoin
repo as unmaintained despite active development taking place for the past several years. Several others have also taken similar actions.
on the one hand, I completely agree with the maintainers stance here:
but I do not agree with disinformation. Modifying a package to state it’s deprecated is slimy and underhanded. You’ve already put warnings up everywhere. You do not need to resort to tactics like this.
disinformation is what got the world into the shitty state it’s in. if you spread disinformation you’re no better than the cryptoscammers that do the same.
