 Hi all, 
  
 glycin in 2.x has the option to build a thumbnailer [0]. In addition, 
 gdk-pixbuf now has 
 the option to build its thumbnailer with libglycin [1]. libglycin is a C 
 library compiled from Rust (and src:glycin). I think both are things we 
 want to enable since the rust code is memory safe. I will definitely 
 enable the glycin-own thumbnailer. Regarding gdk-pixbufs thumbnailer, I 
 would like to hear the teams' opinions on that. This could be enabled 
 only conditionally on the release arches for the time being. Upstream 
 noted the only downside are the loaders being Linux-only since they rely 
 on libseccomp.
