Comment (by herbygillot):
Hey harens, thanks for the heads-up.
I think that we can certainly have a separate port for `pyqrcodeNG`, but
it won't be a drop-in replacement for packages depending on `pyqrcode` as
it doesn't export the same package name. Software would have to be
patched or updated upstream.
If we have a separate port for `pyqrcodeNG`, I don't think that's good
enough, and we don't have to mark the original `pyqrcode` port as obolete,
but just leave it as is. We could mark it obsolete if and only if the port
replacing it exports the same package name, making it a completely
transparent switch for dependent ports.
