api-platform/doctrine-common requires abandoned doctrine/common but doesn't appear to use it #8835
Description
api-platform/doctrine-common (v5.0.6, also main) requires doctrine/common: ^3.2.2, and that package is marked as abandoned on Packagist. Because of this, every downstream project gets an abandoned-package warning from composer install and composer audit.
Claude grepped the installed package and found no references to doctrine/common classes (Doctrine\Common\Util\*, Proxy\*, ClassLoader, CommonException, Comparable). Every Doctrine\Common\… match belongs to the ApiPlatform\Doctrine\Common\… namespace. The requirement may be left over from the ClassUtils removal (#6331).
Could you check whether the requirement can be dropped?

Confirming on a production app (API Platform 4.4.7, Doctrine ORM 3.7, PHP 8.5): removing
doctrine/commonentirely via a rootreplaceleaves PHPStan level 8 clean,lint:containervalid and our full Playwright suite green (148/148). The only remaining references in ourvendor/are acatch (CommonException ...)in phpstan-doctrine and a string class-name map in symfony/var-dumper, both inert when the class is absent. Happy to open a PR dropping the requirement fromsrc/Doctrine/Common/composer.json, and a 4.4 backport if you'd take one.fix(doctrine): drop the unused doctrine/common requirement
