"NLnet Labs has put up a blog entry warning about the possible effects of the
'Cyber Resilience Act' proposal in the European Commission.

We feel the current proposal misses a major opportunity. At a high level the
'essential cybersecurity requirements' are not unreasonable, but the
compliance overhead can range from tough to impossible for small, or
cash-strapped developers. The CRA could bring support to open-source
developers maintaining the critical foundations of our digital society. But
instead of introducing incentives for integrators or financial support via
the CRA, the current proposal will overload small developers with compliance
work."
