GoKawiilGentoo developer urges Python package maintainers to avoid uv-build backend
A Gentoo contributor is publicly asking Python package maintainers not to adopt uv-build as their build backend, citing damage to Gentoo package support when key dependencies switch to it. The post clarifies it's not a criticism of uv or Astral's other tools generally, but specifically objects to uv-build's size, its Rust implementation, and its frequent release cadence.
