I find that there's also a significant issue with relying on cython3-legacy: it conflicts with cython3, meaning that it will be impossible to simultaneously install packages depending on cython3 and cython3-legacy. Once cython 3.x moves from experimental to unstable to testing and packages start depending on it, this will become a significant issue. I assume that the aim will be for everything to be ported to cython 3.x and for cython3-legacy to be dropped from testing before the trixie freeze? Best wishes, Julian
