As I was updating my EndeavourOS and got this message. I was like, hope it does not break anything. Since I have time-shift I went ahead with Y
:: Replace i3-gaps with community/i3-wm? [Y/n]
Package Old Version New Version Net Change
i3-gaps 4.21.1-1 -2.29 MiB
community/i3-wm 4.22-2 2.32 MiB
So I guess the transition finally happened today, 3 Jan 2023.
Goodbye i3 gaps
Congratulation to everyone involved
