Hello, I'm about to start implementing a new builder, and upon reading the official documentation <https://www.packer.io/docs/extending/plugins/> I've learned about Packer's plugins but I am a bit confused as to if it is the official way to implement new functionalities to Packer nowadays: are contributors expected to implement support for new builders/post-processors/etc as "community" plugins in external repositories (pretty much as Terraform does for providers), or to submit pull requests to the official Packer project's repository? I'm asking this because in the list of community builders the vSphere <https://github.com/jetbrains-infra/packer-builder-vsphere> one is marked as deprecated as it's been "merged into official Packer repository and released with Packer since version 1.5.2".
