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.
