[PRQ#63913] Deletion Request for choosenim-bin
SpotlightKid [1] filed a deletion request for choosenim-bin [2]: Upstream moved from https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/ to https://github.com/nim-lang/choosenim (see also https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/12350#76628) The old version from dom96 is now broken, since some URLs on nim- lang.org, which `choosenim` uses have changed, or rather what they return, and the old version handles that poorly or throws errors. This causes confusion and frustration among users trying to install Nim via this version of choosenim, therefor I think it is better to remove this package completely, since it has not been updated, even though it has been flagged out-of-date for three weeks now.

Request #63913 has been Rejected by SpotlightKid [1]: I filed this deletion request because I thought that in its current outdated state it only causes frustration for users trying to use it to install upstream binary Nim distributions. But since the Arch extra/nim package has some problems, it is important to have a way to install upstream binary Nim distributions without requiring a previous Nim installation (as would be needed for the AUR choosenim package, compiled from source). So I'm filing an orphan request instead and intent to adopt/update the package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/SpotlightKid/
