Hi,FYI the developers of dev-python/cryptography decided that Rust is going to be mandatory for 1.5+ versions. It's unlikely that they're going to provide LTS support or security fixes for the old versions. Since cryptography is a very important package in the Python ecosystem, and it is an indirect dependency of Portage, this means that we will probably have to entirely drop support for architectures that are not supported by Rust.
For the portage indirect dependency, can it be swapped for pycurl? AFAICT, it is just used to pull GPG sigs in gemato via dev-python/requests.This at least would at least keep the arches in question with some support but not necessarily all of python world until a clearer plan can be made.
