Description

std_msgs have been deprecated in https://github.com/ros2/common_interfaces/pull/116; why are they still being used in this package?

It's hard for users to make the switch when official examples still use them

Research direction

Start at rclpy/topics/minimal_publisher/examples_rclpy_minimal_publisher/publisher_local_function.py and compare its message usage with the deprecation noted in common_interfaces PR #116. Done means the official example no longer uses the deprecated message and remains valid.
