componentWillReceiveProps warning with React 16.9

Hello,

After updating react and react-dom to v16.9.0, this warning appears:

react-dom.development.js:11494 Warning: componentWillReceiveProps has been renamed, and is not recommended for use. See https://fb.me/react-async-component-lifecycle-hooks for details.

* Move data fetching code or side effects to componentDidUpdate.
* If you're updating state whenever props change, refactor your code to use memoization techniques or move it to static getDerivedStateFromProps. Learn more at: https://fb.me/react-derived-state
* Rename componentWillReceiveProps to UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps to suppress this warning in non-strict mode. In React 17.x, only the UNSAFE_ name will work. To rename all deprecated lifecycles to their new names, you can run `npx react-codemod rename-unsafe-lifecycles` in your project source folder.

Please update the following components: Motion

According to https://reactjs.org/blog/2019/08/08/react-v16.9.0.html#renaming-unsafe-lifecycle-methods, the componentWillReceiveProps is now deprecated and will be removed from the API on the next major version.

Any update on this ?

How can an amazing project with 20k stars, conf presence (react europe talk), and a fantastic api be abandoned like this by the owner(s)? Completely understand if they don’t have time anymore for the project, no blame in that, but couldn’t one try in that case to delegate some ownership so someone can simply publish a new version of this package since the necessary code change is already there?
