Honestly, I don't know what the library does enough to propose an
alternative, but I think it's behoof of us to evaluate an upstream before
deciding to make it a requirement regardless of (or even more outside of)
the tech's ability to solve a problem. The ability to solve a problem or
provide functionality is important, but so is the technologie's support
into the future.

As a Fedora packager for over 12 years, I've seen projects end up forking a
project and thus become the de facto upstream to maintain the code, because
upstream support evaporated.
