Is paragonie/sodium_compat still required?

[brendt]

This package depends on "paragonie/sodium_compat": "^1.6|^2.0", but also "php": "^7.3|^8.0",. Since libsodium was added in PHP 7.2, the dependency on paragonie/sodium_compat seems redundant?

Right point to raise ✊

I'm able to avoid the security vulnerability advisory by running composer require paragonie/sodium_compat which installs the latest version. But I feel bad about including something that's not used.
