Cannot install with composer: circular deprecation error

[arcijsg]

Firstly, after skipping over dozen of alternatives, i was very happy to find this project - seems like what i was looking for!

Unfortunately, i could not find a way to install it with composer:
composer require c9s/GetOptionKit

exits with the following error:

Package c9s/GetOptionKit is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use corneltek/getoptionkit instead.

But trying to do that and typing

composer require corneltek/getoptionkit

results in the same message.
Moreover, it seems like there is no "getoptionkit" repo under https://github.com/corneltek/

So, i'd like to know whether is this project considered as completely abandoned and so the suggestion would be to not use it in new projects? Or are there any plans to publish a replacement for it or a successor?
