Since spring-boot-starter-aop pulls in spring-aspects and aspectj it might be better to rename it. Without those dependencies it only pulls in the spring-aop modules which doesn't really need a starter since it's pulled in by spring-context.

All yours @kiruthiga1793, but we won't be able to merge anything for a while as we haven't yet started on 3.5.x work.

Hi @philwebb @snicoll!

Could I work on this? From what I understand, the task is to rename only the spring-boot-starter-aop package, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

I should have updated updated this issue last week. We had a discussion about this and we're going to push this back to Spring Boot 4.0. Sorry for the wasted effort @kiruthiga1793, but we won't be able to merge anything for a little while.
