@Anarcat I don't think that yt-dlp is a good argument for moving llm to main. Despite it's name it is not bound to YouTube, the video extractors are quite generic and I use it for lots of websites, but hardly ever for YouTube.

@jmm @Anarcat I think the same is mostly true of core `llm` as well, the OpenAI API is the de-facto standard and can be used with plenty of providers + local models (like how "s3" doesn't just mean AWS anymore). But plugins like llm-anthropic are clearly provider-specific.

@legoktm @Anarcat Fair enough. My personal estimate would be something along the lines of "could I confidently NMU this package without paying money to terrible companies like OpenAI or Anthropic", if that's the case than main sounds fine.
