Description

As Create React App is no longer actively maintained and the official React documentation now strongly recommends modern bundlers like Vite or Next.js, many teams are currently in the process of migrating their legacy codebases.

However, because this repository is still technically open and not formally "archived" on GitHub, many strict enterprise compliance scanners do not flag the underlying deprecated dependencies (such as older webpack-dev-server versions with known prototype pollution warnings) as belonging to an End-of-Life (EOL) tool.

Request

Could the maintainer team consider formally archiving this repository?

Archiving the repo would immediately signal to enterprise compliance tools that the project is officially EOL. This provides senior engineers with the necessary official documentation to justify the time and resources required for a Vite/Next.js migration to their management and security compliance boards.

Thank you for all the incredible work on this project over the years—it shaped the modern web, and an official archival would be a great final sign-off to help enterprise teams safely move forward.
