react-native-i18n is deprecated, should this lib migrate to react-native-localize ?

[zedtux]

More than 3 years ago, the react-native-i18n library has been deprecated.

It is the only and the main dependency of this package, so should this package migrate to react-native-localize as suggested from the deprecation warning message ?

In a React-Native 0.70 app, I have the following warning :

react-native-i18n module is not correctly linked

I had to patch react-native-i18n with :

diff --git a/node_modules/react-native-i18n/index.js b/node_modules/react-native-i18n/index.js
index 6402f5a..4736e57 100644

+if (typeof RNI18n !== 'undefined' && RNI18n !== null) {
   I18nJs.locale = RNI18n.languages[0];
 } else if (__DEV__) {
   console.warn('react-native-i18n module is not correctly linked');

in order to prevent the error :

TypeError: Cannot read property 'languages' of null, js engine: hermes
