-noting from it:
+Leaflet-based, MIT-licensed. Superseded but still live, and currently
+*more feature-complete* than npmap5: v4 is one large, mature framework
+(~87k lines, years of accumulated features — baselayer presets, a
+geocoder, popups, etc. all in one package), while npmap5 is a
+still-in-progress rewrite split into small, independently-versioned
+plugins (several still at `0.0.1-x`, pre-1.0), a few of which (`overview`,
+`carto`, `wms`) aren't even merged to `main` yet — see above. v5 is the
+direction NPS is migrating to, not (yet) a feature-for-feature
+replacement; expect this gap to close over time, not to stay this way.
