sat-stac vs pystac

[rsignell-usgs]

I see this uses sat-stac, but isn't the COG gang mostly using pystac now? Or doesn't it matter for this application?

The short answer is that we started work on Intake-stac before pystac began development (stac-utils/pystac@1fe8811). @matthewhanson and I have talked a bit about the future of sat-stac but for now, we have sat-stac as a dependency. If there was interest, we could explore adding pystac support (either as a replacement for or in addition to sat-stac.

Thanks for the explanation @jhamman!

I'm going to reopen this since I think it'll be relevant in the coming months as the STAC spec approaches a 1.0 release:

We should probably keep the dependencies of intake-stac limited to one or the other.
