Whether xgboost_requires needs to be changed

I’m sorry if I made a mistake in the place to post.

https://github.com/dask/dask-ml/blob/main/setup.py Currently dask-ml depends on the following OSS when building with xgboost function:

xgboost_requires = ["dask-xgboost", "xgboost"]

https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/blob/master/python-package/setup.py However currently xgboost owns the dask option. Does xgboost_requires need to be modified?

• xgboost+dask only or
• dask-xgboost and xgboost+dask

I think we can just remove the xgboost stuff in the setup.py and update the docs at https://ml.dask.org/xgboost.html to use it.

People should just use xgboost.dask, and there’s really no reason to add it under the dask_ml.xgboost namespace.
