Description

Is this a new component or an extension of an existing one?
Popper

Describe the feature
A README in our helpers/Popper/thirdparty directory mentions:

  • Delete the thirdparty folder and add them as dependencies to the package.json:
    "react-popper": "2.2.3"
    "@popperjs/core": "2.4.2"

Most likely not as part of this breaking change, but is this something we'd want to look into for a future major release? An alternative would be https://github.com/patternfly/patternfly-react/issues/9089 which would involve just updating our thirdparty code (possibly).

Research direction

Review the README in helpers/Popper/thirdparty and the package.json references to react-popper and @popperjs/core. Compare this dependency approach with the alternative described in patternfly-react issue 9089, then clarify which future-release direction is desired and what replacing the third-party folder would include.
