Time to deprecate TinyGPS

The time lib example references tinyGPS as a means to synch to GPS time - when networks are not available. The TinyGPS library was last updated about 10 years ago, newer satellite protocols have been added.
But more importantly, if the GPS chipset used reports out in a GNSS format, TinyGPS will not decode the time information. TinyGPSPlus will do that. The time lib includes possible dependencies on TinyGPS. Individuals just starting out with projects and using the Time lib examples can be sent down a long and winding road that never gets anywhere. Even a simple note in the example to suggest an alternative library would help out.
It time to re-examine and move to one of the newer GPS libraries that supports all the satellite systems - not just the original GPS.
