To anyone else who comes along with motivation:

I'm fine with blake3 being in hashlib, but I don't want us to guarantee it by carrying the implementation of the algorithm in the CPython codebase itself unless it gains wide industry standard-like adoption status.

We should feel free to link to both the Rust blake3 and C blake3-py packages from the hashlib docs regardless.
