I'd expect them to provide at least one full set of usable software from it, not just specifications on how to write the software - which is what they seem to only be producing now?
They already cancelled their GUI wallet some years ago (https://github.com/ethereum/mist) which was kind of weird already considering that people did have money in it already.
But you could at least resort to using geth as a terminal UI client.
Now it seems ETH holders won't be able to access their funds using fully official software at all, which is kinda "meh", no matter if you're pro-crypto or against.

Rust: Read, Write and Subscribe to Ethereum Smart Contracts with ethers.rs
1 project | /r/ethdev | 15 Dec 2022

What got me interested in learning Rust with Ethereum is Reth (Rust Ethereum Execution Layer Client). OpenEthereum was another Rust client that got deprecated earlier in 2022, which is what I think inspired Reth to be made https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum . It sounds like Reth will go live in January/February 2023 https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth#status they put out a summary here too https://www.paradigm.xyz/2022/12/reth

The Parity Bitcoin client, written in Rust
2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Jun 2021

I'm not sure why this was linked. Parity decided to stop developing their Ethereum client and this repo has been sitting unmaintained for about 2 years now, it will almost certainly not successfully sync with mainnet.
The Parity codebase was taken over by new maintainers and turned into OpenEthereum: https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum
However, writing and maintaining an Ethereum client is an exceptional amount of work with very little benefit, the primary OpenEthereum maintainers recently announced they would stop maintaining OpenEthereum and would start pouring their energies into an upcoming client called Erigon. https://medium.com/openethereum/gnosis-joins-erigon-formerly...
Erigon is a much better client.

Also, the Ethereum Foundation doesn't own a lot of the code used in the network. For example, lots of people use OpenEthereum as their client, which is not managed by EF.
