   > Does the crate really need maintain? It's really easy, outputs 
deterministic results, and has no runtime dependencies.
   
   Hi, I fully agree with your statements here.
   
   However, the ASF has been seen as [open-source software 
stewards](https://www.european-cyber-resilience-act.com/Cyber_Resilience_Act_Article_24.html)
 (according to the 
[CRA](https://www.european-cyber-resilience-act.com/Cyber_Resilience_Act_Articles.html)),
 so it is our own responsibility to ensure our dependencies are up to date and 
well-maintained. Otherwise, at some point (though no one has yet), someone may 
raise a CVE against us, forcing us to take urgent action.
   
   We can still defend our position as we've discussed here, but most end 
users—who may not even know what Rust is—only find us because our project 
appears in their [SBOM](https://www.ntia.gov/page/software-bill-materials). 
They will simply see that `paste` is unmaintained and treat it as a security 
issue.
   
   Ultimately, we need to take action. We should either remove `paste` entirely 
or migrate to another library.
