Recent troubles: expl3, fixltx2e, etc.

The following MCE:

\RequirePackage{pkgloader}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{cleveref}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\LoadPackagesNow
\begin{document}
Foo.
\end{document}

points out some (recent, I guess) troubles:

• Package l3regex is obsolete and has been removed!
• LaTeX warning: "kernel/invalid-variant"
  • Variant form nncn invalid for base form \int_step_inline:nnnn.
  • Variant form cn invalid for base form \withargs:nnn.
  • Variant form cn invalid for base form \withargs:nnnn.
• Package fixltx2e is not required with releases after 2015.
• LaTeX Warnings:
  • You have requested document class article, but the document class provides article.
  • You have requested package hyperref, but the package provides hyperref.
  • You have requested package cleveref, but the package provides cleveref.

Many thanks for reporting this, and my apologies for taking so long to respond. The fact is that I haven't used LaTeX for a number of years, and I'm too busy to actively maintain this package.

Short of finding someone who'd like to take over maintenance of the package, I'm happy to look at any PR you submit. I'll have a look at it, make sure it doesn't actually break stuff, and release it. But I'm afraid I won't be coding on this any time soon.

I think, this is fixed by https://github.com/mhelvens/latex-pkgloader/pull/25.

Think, one can just merge the PR and just release a new version.
