Directory structure

-------------------

### Low-level packages

Directory structure follows [Go's stdlib](https://pkg.go.dev/std?tab=packages) where there

are equivalents. E.g. `httputils` is found in [net/http/httputils/](net/http/httputils/).

### Higher-level, "app", packages

Go's stdlib (wisely) doesn't implement higher level/app-level concepts.

Higher-level concepts are in [app/](app/) like backoff/retry algorithms or external service

related things like AWS wrappers or Prometheus helpers.

Deprecations

------------

- [net/http/csrf/](net/http/csrf/) - just use SameSite cookies

- [crypto/pkencryptedstream/](crypto/pkencryptedstream/) - provides confidentiality, but is malleable (ciphertext is not authenticated). Use Age instead.

- [log/logex/](log/logex/) - use [log/slog](https://go.dev/blog/slog) i.e. the official solution to pain which our package addressed.
