Starting in Ruby 3.3.0-preview2, requiring net-ldap warns:
$ ruby33 -r net/ldap -e ''
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.3/gems/net-ldap-0.18.0/lib/net/ldap/password.rb:5: warning: base64 which will be not part of the default gems since Ruby 3.4.0
base64 will move from a standard library gem to a bundled gem in Ruby 3.4.0. That will break applications using bundler and net-ldap unless net-ldap declares a dependency on base64 or inlines the necessary implementation. Note that base64 was not gemified until Ruby 3.0, but the current base64 gem supports Ruby 2.4.0+, so this would result in dropping support for Ruby 2.0-2.3.
In my own libraries, I've chosen to inline the implementation, as base64 is a thin wrapper around String#unpack1 and Array#pack.
