e/emacs-29.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Emacs 29.3 is an emergency bugfix release intended to fix several security
vulnerabilities described below:
Arbitrary Lisp code is no longer evaluated as part of turning on Org mode.
This is for security reasons, to avoid evaluating malicious Lisp code.
New buffer-local variable 'untrusted-content'. When this is non-nil, Lisp
programs should treat buffer contents with extra caution.
Gnus now treats inline MIME contents as untrusted. To get back previous
insecure behavior, 'untrusted-content' should be reset to nil in the buffer.
LaTeX preview is now by default disabled for email attachments. To get back
previous insecure behavior, set the variable 'org--latex-preview-when-risky'
to a non-nil value.
Org mode now considers contents of remote files to be untrusted.
Remote files are recognized by calling 'file-remote-p'.

Can python-tomli and python-tomli-w be removed in -current with the upgrade to python-3.11?
Starting with python-3.11, python comes with a toml module in the standard library and I'm curious if the default standard library toml module is insufficient for our needs.
I looked through the newly added python packages added when python-tomli{,-w} were added in -current (Aug 10, 2023) and wasn't able to find anything that required tomli{,-w} there when searching for the the same packages on SlackBuilds.org (after "python3-", the packages are underscored instead of hyphenated on SlackBuilds.org).
I am aware that PEP 517 uses toml files (the pyproject.toml file) to do some stuff and so perhaps python-tomli and python-tomli-w were added so we could have a toml parser where one was not originally available. Now that we've upgraded to 3.11 which does come with a toml parser in the standard library (https://docs.python.org/3/library/to...module-tomllib), I'm just wondering if tomli and tomli-w can now be removed.
