Lib.rs has previously been editorializing the crates within the search algorithm on their site based on their own personal preference. However, they recently have taken it a step too far in labeling the bitcoin
repo as unmaintained despite active development taking place for the past several years. Several others have also taken similar actions.
The crate in question, if anyone else is curious: https://lib.rs/crates/bitcoin
I couldn’t find it by searching
bitcoin
, which makes me wonder if it’s also deranked somehowI think the results don’t include deprecated crates, so the deprecation mark effectively deranks it.
When I searched “bitcoin”, I found the bitcoin crate, but I had to scroll down a bit.
Oh, you’re right. I see it as the 26th result, down below the “try searching with duckduckgo or on crates.io” notice.
