Final nail in the coffin

[jimmywarting]

FormData is shipped natively in all ever green browser and backends now.

Will this be the time for deprecation? form-data haven't been updated in a while and it still lacks some method that should be provided according to the spec. node-fetch@3 stopp recommended ppl using form-data due to inconsistency with spec compatible FormData and recommend that ppl use built in FormData or a spec:ed formdata polyfill that supports iterating over all fields and having Blob/File support. There is at least 3 other spec compatible FormData implementation out there that i know of

• one provided by undici, the same one that is now also shipped globally in NodeJS v18.
• fromdata-polyfill used by node-fetch
• And lastly formdata-node

All of which supports adding 3th party blob/files backed up by a filesystem thanks due to fetch-blob...
^{formdata-node also has built in fileFromPath()
this is now also being more or less obsolete by the fs.openAsBlob(path)}

Perhaps it's time to arcive the repo and put a deprication notice on npm?

I found a vulnerability in this library and sent a report via Snyk & email,
but received no response.

Therefore, a patch will probably never be provided.
I'm also wondering if I should go public about this issue.

For this reason, I personally feel that it is better to archive it.
