Plan for the vendor directory removal in Cluster Autoscaler

[Feruzjon Muyassarov]

Hi everyone,

We've begun the process of transitioning Cluster Autoscaler away from utilizing the vendor directory and towards relying only Go modules for managing dependencies. While Autoscaler currently uses Go modules alongside the vendor directory, we're aiming at eliminating the latter.

Since this change might impact some dependent systems or projects, we've decided to temporarily postpone the vendor directory removal PR (6572) for at least two months, as discussed and agreed upon in tracking issue 4878.

If you have any concerns or suggestions regarding this transition, please don't hesitate to share your feedback here, on Slack, or preferably on the tracking issue 4878.

Thanks,
Feruz
