Indeed, can this be prioritized?

@MaxCaresYww What replacement do you suggest?

@dolmen
Can we replace with https://github.com/martinohmann/go-difflib ?

[dolmen]

Any replacement suggestion must at least say why this would be a good candidate.

#1479 mentioned using go-diff which has seen adoption in popular libraries like go-git.

However, go-diff seems not very well maintained itself in recent years and the introduction of bugs has had some people sticking with v.1.1.0 until only very recently.
