AI-suggested
Users should migrate away from `pin-utils` to supported alternatives. For local pinning, use the stable Rust macro `core::pin::pin!` available since Rust 1.68. For pin projection, use the actively maintained crates `pin-project` or `pin-project-lite`. This migration ensures continued support and security updates. Since the crate is archived, no patches or fixes will be provided for `pin-utils` itself.
Description
`pin-utils` is a Rust crate that has been officially archived and is no longer maintained as of October 1, 2026, following the release of version 0.1.1. Users are advised to migrate to newer, supported alternatives such as `core::pin::pin!` for local pinning and `pin-project` or `pin-project-lite` for pin projection functionality.
