moment.js has been obsolete for years. I've considered it as a sign of an unmaintained code for at least ~5 years by now.

There has been so many better and lightweight alternatives for years that if you haven't already refactored it away, you just don't care about your users or the bundle size. (And I have personally done that exercise a handful of times myself, I know it can be painful, but it's just one relatively small PR!)

Hey now, I'm offended. I maintain my app. I just have better things to do than constantly upgrade and strip away old libs because the JS kids have moved onto the next hottest thing.

What's wrong with continuing to use moment.js in an application where it works well?
