There is no change needed at all. The interface with
asdfused byasdf-astropyare given preference over the one used byastropy.io.misc.asdf(which will be eliminated with ASDF 3.0). Simply installingasdf-astropyis all one needs to do in order to useasdf-astropyto serialize the supportedastropyobjects usingasdf.Indeed, unless users are writing their own
asdfextensions, they should never be importingastropy.io.misc.asdforasdf_astropy. In the case that they are, we give clear instructions on how to createasdfextensions, to contribute toasdf-astropyhere, or in general here in the generalasdfdocumentation.pllim commentedon May 19, 2022
Maybe just re-iterate what you said above in the documentation under a section about
astropy.io.misc.asdf?
