Description

We have a hard deadline for deprecating the npx react-native init command support. That's 0.76 or 30 September. Some points were raised (facebook/react-native#45461) that this would be a breaking change for a lot of infrastructure, and that we should instead just continue proxying commands to @react-native-community/cli if it's present.

We should do this now to avoid having to be forced to make releases on a hard deadline:

• @blakef: Not picking this release, will reach out to community CLI team to see if this can wait for 0.76. template adds dependencies -> 0.75-stable branch: chore: add explicit dependency on the community CLI react-native-community/template#39
• react-native: always proxy to @react-native-community/cli facebook/react-native#45464

Pick @react-native-community/ dependencies in template if 0.76 isn't going to be released by September 30th

0.76 is definitely not going to be shipped by 30th September. We can either extend the deadline to 31st October or pick the dependency in the template
