Where can I find tensorflow.contrib.layers for TensorFlow 2.0

Question

I have been developing machine learning codes in TensorFlow with contrib.layers. I am happy with the module; it works very well and provides me sufficient control over my model. However, TensorFlow 2.0 will completely remove contrib module and the new keras module does not provide me enough flexibility and control without extra efforts (personal experience, correct me if I am wrong), even though it is easier to write.

I want to know where the contrib module will be in TensorFlow 2.0. Thanks in advance.

According to an RFC document from August 2018, tf.contrib will be deleted with some of its parts becoming standalone projects (such as tensorflow/probability).

This not the case of tf.conrib.layers. Even tf.layers (which was distilled from tf.contrib.layers) will be no longer supported. A detailed description of how to use the Keras API instead is provided in the migration guide.
