I believe this was "just" fallout from following Python upstream changes -- that is, switching to "hatch" / hatchling (one of the choices of the wider Python switch to PEP0517) instead of 500+ lines of custom Python, setup.py etc.

I have filed https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/4173 to track this.

That made it into the release notes as "switched to hatch" but maybe didn't capture nuance like this :(
