*Please Deprecate/Sunset React-Final-Form (et al) #1045

Description

It's apparent that react-final-form and the various final-form projects are no longer being actively maintained.

When I started using react-final-form, it was under active maintenance, but maintenance has since decreased and then ceased.

With the latest updates to various other ubiquitous libraries (like npm and react), I've recently had to resort to hacks to keep things functional:

  • the need for npm overrides for the latest react versions
  • npm errors regarding peer dependency resolution, which requires the unsavory --legacy-peer-deps flag to work around
  • npm warnings regarding peer dependency resolution

I'm also not clear whether the above items have an impact on actual functionality, though nothing seems to have affected what I am using currently.

However, due to the risk of eventual failure of react-final-form (et al), I'm now actively engaged in replacing them with another third-party library.

Would it be possible, to better inform new and existing users of the final-form libraries, to provide messaging to the effect that the libraries are officially no longer supported, and may not work properly in the latest npm/react ecosystem? The current sites make no mention of the software being sunset.

Also want to the thank the library author for the software and all the work that was put into it, as it served an important purpose while it lived.
