Caution

The published package has not been released in two years.

## Why

- The Go package github.com/projectcalico/calico has had no release since November 2021, while the repository has 4,344 human commits in the last year; the old release has 6 known security advisories (GHSA-5r5h-q934-cccp, GHSA-6362-gv4m-53ww, GHSA-9394-xfq9-6qrp), which do not show whether the current code is affected. ([source 1](https://deps.dev/go/github.com%2Fprojectcalico%2Fcalico), [source 2](https://github.com/projectcalico/calico), [source 3](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-5r5h-q934-cccp), [source 4](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-6362-gv4m-53ww), [source 5](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9394-xfq9-6qrp), [source 6](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9p7w-w5q6-mxj3), [source 7](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-m67g-87rx-v42c), [source 8](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2024-2801))

### What would change this

- A new package release is published.
- Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.)
