Ask people to use 5.1 instead? about use-react-router HOT 2 OPEN

I encourage readers to migrate going forward.

No better way to encourage people than by deprecating your package :) They'll still be able to use it. npm just lets them know at install time that they should be using something else. But they are free to ignore the warning and use it anyway.

If you don't want to deprecate, would you at least please put a link in the README to this issue as a "known issue" so that people know there are risks involved with using this package?

Hi @mjackson. Thanks for your great work!

While I encourage people to use the first-party hooks, I don't want to deprecate this for users who are unable or unwilling to upgrade to 5.1 or refactor their existing code. A helpful balance may be to set the peerDependency to ~5.0.0 instead of ^5.0.0 and have this repo's documentation encourage users to read the react-router's hooks documentation as a preferred alternative.

I'll leave this issue open until I think of the optimal solution for users, and I encourage readers to migrate going forward.
