It would be nice if we could reduce/eliminate use of appdirs during the Trixie
development cycle. It's unmaintained and superseded by platformdirs. As far
as I can tell, platformdirs is API compatible with appdirs, except the import
path is different.
As a result, switching does need some changes in the upstream code. This point
in the development cycle is a good time to work with upstream to have them
make the change upstream. I did this this week with xml2rfc, it was pretty
painless, and will be included in the next release. As we approach the
freeze, then I think we should shift to working on Debian specific changes.
There's a list below of the affected packages (all of them, not just Debian
Python packages). I don't intend to do a MBF now, but may do so later in the
year (when hopefully the list will be shorter).
