I wanted to update the firmware of my keyboardio, but during the process I noticed several plugins are “archived” on GitHub. Are they no longer supported? Are they replaced by something else? I cannot find info about it in their README.

I’m talking about most of the Core plugins: [https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Core-Plugins](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Core-Plugins)

They are still listed on that wiki page, but archived… I’m confused.

I believe most of the plugins were moved into a monorepo, so they live in [the main Kaleidoscope repo](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/tree/8d57e4ffe41ed6dcc2cd31c3e9c8d84a11f9fa2a/src) now.
