Will updates be coming for `readNWISrating`?

[jpadilla-spu]

What is your question?
Are you planning updates to readNWISrating a la readNWISuv --> read_waterdata_continuous? I ask because I don't see any information on the status page.

We like to have access to older rating curves over time because it can help explain flow changes over time. We used to have access to older curves on an older website that has been deprecated. Since then we've started archiving them ourselves. I'm worried that we might lose access to the curves when NWIS is fully deprecated in 2027.

To Reproduce

dataRetrieval::readNWISrating(siteNumber = "12148500", type = "exsa", convertType = TRUE)

ALERT: All NWIS services are slated for decommission
and new dataRetrieval functions will be added.

Yup! The code is currently being reviewed in #879
If you want to test it out immediately, you can install like this:

remotes::install_github("ldecicco-usgs/dataRetrieval", ref = "develop")

Then try out the examples on our dev docs here:
