 summary of problems still to be addressed:
 
 proptest gets two additional test failures when updated for the
-new rand, I have opened a bug report about this upstream.
+new rand, I have opened a bug report about this upstream. It appears that this
+is caused by rand deciding to panic rather than returning bad results for very
+large floating point ranges. After some testing I don't belive this will have
+any downstream impacts and plan to just disable the tests in question.
 
 We need to figure out what to do about rust-petgraph, I tried to port it to the
 new version of rust-quickcheck but failed, i'm leaning towards simply removing
 the quickcheck feature from petgraph.
 
-newsboat is maintained outside the rust team, coordination with it's maintainer
-or a NMU will be needed.
