> Do we really need to release this package in a not so usable state? It seems that currently mkchromecast still depends on this package. So just removing it would remove mkchromecast as well. But i'm not sure how much of mkchromecast works without a binary called youtube-dl.
Also some users might benefit from automatically transitioning to youtube-dlp, on the other hand yt-dlp does not seem to provide youtube-dl as a binary, so maybe this is unexpected as well. - Martin
