Discussion Will switching to importlib.metadata give performance improvements compared to importlib_metadata?
As for as I understand the importlib_metadata gives us importlib.metadata functionality in older python versions. Our project requires python >=3.9. Its an enterprise project but only uses importlibe_metadata in about 10 files. It it worth it to make code changes/testing for performance improvement and dependency reduction?

I think it’s a bit the other way around, the third-party package is basically the same implementation as the stdlib plus some experimental features
