Description
I see that /ipfs is replaced in favour of /p2p in some way, but what about /ipns? It is different from /ipfs by the fact that it doesn't describe a file by its hash, but by something else that is encoded by some private key.
Is there some plan to merge everything under the same multiaddr? It seems that https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/ipns/#example-ipns-setup-with-cli is still using /ipns.
