How about moving wasm-timer into the rust-libp2p/misc ?

How about moving wasm-timer into the rust-libp2p/misc dir, like #2641 did.

Maybe quicksink also needs to be moved to the misc dir?

How about moving wasm-timer into the rust-libp2p/misc dir

I would much rather like to see it replaced with a timing library that is still actively maintained. See #2497 (comment). Contributions would be very much appreciated.

Maybe quicksink also needs to be moved to the misc dir?

Any particular reason for that?

In general, while I am a big fan of mono-repos, I would like to:

• Keep things useful (and used) outside of libp2p outside the monorepo.
• Ideally reduce the maintenance work on the rust-libp2p maintainers rather than increasing it.

quicksink is used for libp2p-websocket, but this repo has been archived by paritytech.

I'm not sure if there is an alternative of this library.

Instead of moving another generic library into the rust-libp2p monorepo, I think we can replace the use of quicksink in libp2p-websocket instead. Not a strong opinion, though would prefer not increasing the maintenance work on us long term.

I'll close this as not planned. wasm-timer is unmaintained and we are moving away from it in #3973 at least for gossipsub.
