ASF GitHub Bot logged work on CRYPTO-162: ----------------------------------------- Author: ASF GitHub Bot Created on: 14/Jun/22 07:02 Start Date: 14/Jun/22 07:02 Worklog Time Spent: 10m Work Description: jochenw commented on PR #164: URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-crypto/pull/164#issuecomment-1154795891 My impression is, that you wish to extend Crypto from a pure random generator towards a decoding/encoding engine. While this seems interesting, I am nevertheless opposed to it: The native parts of Crypto are already a heavy maintenance burden, as they are. Mostly, due to the need to support multiple binary platforms. (Most of us have typically a single one, or two at the most.) So, sorry!
