Lib.rs has previously been editorializing the crates within the search algorithm on their site based on their own personal preference. However, they recently have taken it a step too far in labeling the bitcoin repo as unmaintained despite active development taking place for the past several years. Several others have also taken similar actions.

To defend a scam technology like cryptocurrencies with a line that was originally about people being shipped off to concentration camps is disgusting.
