Why is this image docker.io/rancher/k3d no longer maintained?

[RWDai]

run k3d in docker failed.

Scope of your Question

• Is your question related to a specific version of k3d (or k3s)?
  • Please paste the output of k3d version here
    docker image: rancher/k3d:latest
    and k3d version is k3s version v1.22.6-k3s1 (default)

Hey 👋
k3d-io is its own community organization, so the repository and images are not in the rancher organizations anymore.
Also, since rate-limiting was introduced in DockerHub, the images were moved to GHCR 1 1/2 years ago: https://github.com/k3d-io/k3d/releases/tag/v5.4.0

Thanks Reply!
Are there any plans to build k3d-io/k3d synchronized mirrors on docker.io?
Because the GHCR image is difficult to search, and the google k3d and docker keywords still appear in rancher/k3d.

That would be up to the Rancher team.
K3d is not attached to SUSE/Rancher and I have no access to that docker hub namespace.
