It looks like promslog/slog is the future of promlog.

• feat: new promslog and promslog/flag packages to wrap log/slog prometheus/common#677
• Switch to slog prometheus/exporter-toolkit#240

[amotl]

• Dependencies: Update from promlog to promslog/slog #205 provides a patch that updates to slog

[amotl]

After merging the patch above, updates by Dependabot have resumed.

• Chore(deps): Bump github.com/prometheus/prometheus from 0.55.1 to 0.302.1 #207
• Chore(deps): Bump github.com/prometheus/client_golang from 1.21.0-rc.0 to 1.21.0 #208
