Interesting. Especially interesting is that the author of diozero broke out his RPi-specific GPIO driver into its own library, and with an MIT license (yay!):

That is a huge leg up for the Ignition OPC driver I'm considering, for the RPi as "remote I/O":

A single gateway could have multiple driver instances pointing into a cloud of RPi’s as if they were “Remote I/O”.
