Description

This is not a real "issue", but I thought worth mentioning.

I was going to take a look into Bogus as a replacement for AutoFixture, and was also looking for an extension that could automatically populate or freeze specific 'fakes' . I noticed '[AutoBogus](https://github.com/nickdodd79/AutoBogus)' is mentioned, in the readme as an amazing extension. This package is abandoned with a [last release of mid-2021](https://www.nuget.org/packages/AutoBogus/), and it seems that soenneker created an improved replacement for the abandoned autobogus... named '[Soenneker.Utils.AutoBogus](https://github.com/soenneker/soenneker.utils.autobogus)' ([nuget package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/soenneker.utils.autobogus/)).

Can you remove the abandoned autobogus? Or even better, replace it with this new one? I have to admit I haven't tested or looked into that one yet, but based on what I've read on the issues page of the old AutoBogus and looking at the new AutoBogus (and features) having a latest release last week, I think it could be a valid replacement.

Research direction

Start in the README's Amazing Community Extensions section and verify how AutoBogus is currently described. Check the proposed Soenneker.Utils.AutoBogus replacement before deciding whether to update the entry or remove it. Done means the README no longer recommends the abandoned package and accurately reflects the chosen outcome.
