The tag sync option group and the import failure warning still named vsphere-automation-sdk. That package is archived and its runtime imports pkg_resources unconditionally, which no longer exists on Python 3.12+ with setuptools >= 82, so following the old name ends with "Tag syncing will be disabled" (#569). The README and the Dockerfile already use vcf-sdk, whose runtime (9.1.1.0) imports without pkg_resources. Name it in the option description and in the warning, and tell the user what to install.

Closes #569.
The tag sync option group (
settings-example.ini,module/sources/vmware/config.py) and the import failure warning inmodule/sources/vmware/connection.pystill namedvsphere-automation-sdk. That package is archived and its runtime importspkg_resourcesunconditionally, which does not exist on Python 3.12+ with setuptools >= 82 (requirements.txtpins 84.0.0 now), so anyone following the old name ends up with "Tag syncing will be disabled".The README and the Dockerfile already install
vcf-sdk. Its runtime (vmware-vapi-runtime 9.1.1.0) imports withoutpkg_resources: with the current pins,python -W error::UserWarning -c "from vmware.vapi.vsphere.client import create_vsphere_client; from com.vmware.cis.tagging_client import Tag"passes whileimport pkg_resourcesfails; same in the publisheddevelopmentimage. This namesvcf-sdkin the option description and in the warning, with the install command. Full suite with vcsim: 257 passed.
