[Cryptography-dev] Rust in pyca/cryptography

[Alex Gaynor]

I'm glad to hear some folks are actually auditing 3rd party sources.

Once you install a rust toolchain, you'll be able to build
pyca/cryptography the same as ever.

To repeat: if there's some action we can be taking to make this
migration smoother, we're happy to consider it. But what we won't do
is simply stop trying to drop C.
