I am not actually the maintainer of the downstream product (git on z/OS with EBCDIC support). That the maintainer did not respond is a bit disconcerting and I (or someone else) will probably need take that up with them. The only impact I can see is dropping HTTPS from git z/OS, and the platform has a robust SSH implementation, so curl could be dropped as a git dependency. Using the new library is fine from my perspective, if it comes down to it, but may be their problem. It would be their issue about not responding, not mine. Thanks for your feedback. It does help clarify our own plans.
