I thought things had gone too smoothly. Oh well.

I have searched in the hostapd mail list for crda in the subject. 
Nothing found all the way back to mid 2020 when there was a two year 
break in any mails listed.

I can't find any way to search the body of the mails for any mention of 
crda and doing a google search for "hostapd crda" didn't flag anything 
useful up.

So I think I need to mail the hostapd list to see what their plans are 
to not use crda (with its python2 dependency) in hostapd.

Does anyone have any other thoughts on how to deal with this?

Regards,

Adolf.
