Dear Reindl,

This is not about cancel culture, but rather about the risks associated
with state-sponsored influence. Including software affiliated with Russian
authorities in open-source projects sends a concerning signal regarding
security and integrity.

It is important to consider how such affiliations may impact the broader
ecosystem, particularly given the current geopolitical context and its
influence on European security.

Best regards,

Yehor Smoliakov
