Bug#890550: parity situation
so whereas
1) older versions of parity were subject to an ethereum-stealing bug
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/08/accidental-bug-may-have-frozen-280-worth-of-ether-on-parity-wallet.html
2) development got stuck, there was, for a time, a fork of parity
called 'feather' but even that is no longer listed as one of the main
ethereum clients on
https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/
3) there's no particular reason to prefer old-as-balls parity
especially considering (1)
4) the source code to parity is stored on a gitlab which doesn't even
allow the public access(!) unless they have a github account
5) at one point, some of the ethereum codebase (not sure if including
parity???) relicensed away from GPL3 and so now it's unclear if this
is even FLOSS anymore
6) i was the one who requested it in the first place, so that debian
could have an ethereum client
7) i've requested enough things
therefor
I'm closing this rfp and if someone else wants parity or one of its
forks they can file a new frp
