> And I have not seen an easy migration path for softwares like this one,
that heavily depend on the former foundational `xercesc3` for XML support.
Further thoughts?
As I said in the ticket text, I recommend communicating with the
developers to advise them to switch to something else. Scott said he has
not attempted to bring the matter to attention of those developers using
xerces-c in their projects, so if we want to reduce our dependence on
xerces-c then it falls to us to bring it to their attention.
Ports that require xerces-c can of course continue to depend on it.
