Remove 8 from Composer package and file names?
Drupal 8 reached end-of-life on November 2, 2021, but the number 8 is still used when installing CiviCRM with Composer.
Since the upgrade path from Drupal 9 to 10, 10 to 11, etc. should be easier than from Drupal 7 to 8, and the underlying technical foundation go through less changes for the foreseeable future, would it be possible to drop the number 8 in CiviCRM package names at some point?
Now
composer require civicrm/civicrm-{core,packages,drupal-8}
Possible at some point?
composer require civicrm/civicrm-{core,packages,drupal}
For Drupal 7 it's best to keep using drupal-7
, to keep the two versions separated.
