asdf-dotnet or asdf-dotnet-core ?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

The asdf-plugins README mention both asdf-dotnet and asdf-dotnet-core for installing the .NET framework (note : .NET Core has been renamed to .NET).

asdf-dotnet is explicitly inspired by asdf-dotnet-core according to its README. And both plugins seems to provide the same functionalities:

mwrobel@l1:~/projects$ asdf list all dotnet
1.1.14
1.1.14
2.1.202
2.1.818
2.2.207
3.0.103
3.1.422
5.0.408
6.0.400
7.0.100-preview.7.22377.5
mwrobel@l1:~/projects$ asdf list all dotnet-core
1.1.14
1.1.14
2.1.202
2.2.207
2.1.818
3.0.103
3.1.422
5.0.408
6.0.400
7.0.100-preview.7.22377.5

From a user perspective this is confusing : should we use asdf-dotnet and asdf-dotnet-core ?

Describe the proposed solution

Maybe the asdf-vm team should "endorse" only one of those projects and remove the other ?

Describe similar asdf features and why they are not sufficient

N/A

Describe other workarounds you've considered

The "language" column in the asdf-plugins repository README could also be updated to clarify the situation.

@hensou, @emersonsoares, do you have any insight on this issue ?

[hensou]

@marcwrobel, you can use the one from @emersonsoares.

I've created it because I thought the project was not being maintained anymore and it had some issues that affected me (missing some env variables).
But looking at it right now, it seems that it is being maintained.

I'll make the case for removing mine from the official repo, as it is confusing.

What do you think @emersonsoares ?
