Comment 3 for bug 1988220

Thanks for following up and for continuing to extend os-ken!

Unfortunately that now means os-ken is now not practical on non-x86
platforms that don't use ncclient, due to the resource intensive process of
producing wheels each time during the pip3 install process (many hours to
build, even under buildx). I understand os-ken is intended to support
OpenStack, but unfortunately with this dependency added os-ken is less
useful outside of OpenStack.

We'll fork os-ken without ncclient dependencies and use that - thank you
for creating it!
