Are there plans to upgrade to a newer leaflet.js

[rl-utility-man]

Leaflet for R is linked to Leaflet.js 1.3.1 from 2018. Some of the updates in 1.7 (better mobile support) and 1.8 (accessibility) look potentially important. Leaflet 2.x is in the words and looks like a fairly significant upgrade.

Folium has updated to 1.9.3
Here is one of the commits that upgraded from 1.6.0 to 1.9.3 and a link to the upgrade issue:

here are the other Folium releases that have updated leaflet JS to 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6:
