Description of issue

Hi

Right now, homebrew-cask has a software called Bandage. It's used to see genome graphs. But these days, more people are using another version called BandageNG.

So, I'm thinking we should change it. Maybe we can remove "Bandage" and add "BandageNG" instead.

https://docs.brew.sh/Adding-Software-to-Homebrew should help you add BandageNG

Thanks.
The decision to add a new package may be easy, but I think the decision to remove an old Formula is difficult. Especially in areas where there are few users.

One option is to add BandageNG and add a caveat to Bandage recommending it. Not sure if we can claim Bandage is discontinued yet based on info at https://github.com/rrwick/Bandage#2022-update but upstream does mention BandageNG as most active fork.
