So when will support come to libavif, libaom, aom-tools and concerned packages? Are they pushed on to Arch already? Or still just upstream github for now?

Yeah IT pros and tech aware "power" users can always take these measures but the very availability of poor or maliciously coded extensions and apps in popular app stores makes it a problem considering normies will get swayed by

For Rust I'd expect the implementation to be the real beast, versus the language itself. But not sure how it compares to C++ implementation complexity.
