TestNG main consumer was EE suite due to the xml configuration, then most
moved to arquillian and JUnit 4 and now they (+ their sibling microprofile
projects) moved to JUnit5 stack.
Not saying you will not find JUnit4 or TestNG anywhere but clearly the move
is that these are in maintenance mode - partly thanks surefire dependency
scanning, so my conclusion is that:

* These are really in maintenance mode so no need to maintain anything crazy
* JUnit5 abstraction does cover it so if you do support JUnit 5 then you do
support TestNG and JUnit 4

Please don't mix death and abandon - which means still maintained when
pressure is big enough.
Both means we don't need to promote them as first class citizen - same
impact for us - but it is slightly different in the meaning.
