The reason why I decided to create it as a new package is that the
GO_PATH also changed from
gopkg.in/yaml.v3 to
go.yaml.in/yaml/v3 and the same for v2 meaning that by creating a new package we would have the name following the go-team standards.
It's possible to create a symlink to maintain compatibility but still the source and binary names would still be the old one.
I'm open to dropping this ITP and working on updating the existing deps to point to the new upstream but first I just want to know what are the best practices here.
Anyone else have any feedback on this?
