Hi Ben,

It is correct. They need to be ported to use libgpiod and associated
bindings so they use the modern and secure interface, not the old
deprecated interfaces.
There was discussion about forking them or implementing the same
interface in a different library but I don't see the point in that
because it means all the millions of instructions on the internet
won't work. What needs to be doing is to engage with the maintainer of
RPi.GPIO to get the support landed there so it uses libgpiod by
default and if that's not available falls back to the old way, that
way it will work with new systems buy fall back and all the
instructions for cool projects will just work everywhere.
