Why using Ethernet repo of Max GErhardt in stead of arduino-libraries?

Do not use to report bugs!
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Ethernet fork of Max Gerhardt hasnt been updated, while the arduin-libraries seems te be more alive...
Also I have posted an issue with the arduino-library, for which I don't know if Max Gerhardt will merge it into his repo
Describe the solution you'd like
Replace dependency https://github.com/maxgerhardt/Ethernet.git with https://github.com/arduino-libraries/Ethernet.git
That choice of Max' Ethernet lib was made a few years ago and I honestly never cared about it again since. At that time the Arduino core Ethernet lib was missing a bit to be completely compliant and so I had to use an alternative.
I will check if the core lib now is doing its work and switch over in case.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I really tried, but I can not get the code to compile with any Ethernet.h at all. The root cause for Max' version seems still to be valid - a mismatch between the connect() definitions in the Arduino core and the ESP IDF. Second, the Arduino lib has a pure virtual EthernetServer::begin() function only, so one would have to create a separate server class first.
Do you have suggestions as how to use the standard Ethernet lib?
As it turns out we only use the ModbusClient so we're not affected by the different Ethernet repo you use.
So no prio for this now. if / when we're gonna use ModbusServer functionality I'll look into this again
