Idea: GoLang specs for V2 new media types like `application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json`

Hi,

I'm looking for GoLang specs for new media types such as application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json, but the existing specs (https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec/tree/v1.0.1/specs-go) does not contain GoLang specs (struct definitions) for these media types.

Is there any plan to add such specs for V2 media types?

I found https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/blob/main/specs-go/v1/manifest.go super useful, and having the similar approach in the distribution-spec repository for v2 manifests would save lots of people from implementing the same struct again and again.

Thanks!

I don't believe there's any plan to include 3rd party vendor specs within the OCI specs. That would be out of scope. In Docker, they import from distribution/distribution that they have donated to the CNCF.

(and for further context, they are not "new" despite the version number in them - they predate and were the original reference for what became the v1 OCI media types ❤️)
