Please do not obsolete this. I do not like display-line-numbers-mode,
preferring line numbers in the margin. There must be other users
similarly inclined.
I do not understand this need to obsolete packages that perform
perfectly well. Emacs often has multiple ways of achieving the same
outcome, which is surely a positive.
Best wishes,
