The threat of Trump EOs has caused the National Science Foundation to pause grant review panels. Critically for Python and PyPI security I spent most of December authoring and submitting a proposal to the "Safety, Security, and Privacy of Open Source Ecosystems" program. What happens now is uncertain to me.
Shuttering R&D only leaves open source software users more vulnerable, this is nonsensical in my mind given America's dependence on software manufacturing.
