Python cryptography, Rust, and Gentoo

> Sure. One problem is, that package list changes with each distribution and sometimes within versions of each distribution. So we only have instructions for Fedora and Ubuntu, and those instructions are wrong for some versions of those distros.

This got so bad for Samba (both the distribution versions to cover and the Samba versions to cover) that we ended up building a massive infrastructure to:
- Create Docker images for CI
- Test every build in all the supported distributions
- Publish a 'install dependencies for samba' script.

Just looking at the table here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Package_Dependencies_Req... to see where this ends up.

Even the source data for those generated scripts, for a single release is quite complex: https://gitlab.com/samba-team/samba/-/blob/master/bootstr...

So for software of any serious size, it is not just a README with a list of dependencies. Furthermore, Samba has found we have to have configure checks looking for the library (otherwise folks complain that their build failed) and to make those fail by default (not 'auto-detect' and work around) because otherwise features just go missing.

All in all it is hard to argue that this is really a good vision to match.
