Back in 2020, Discourse switched from the .js.es6 extension to .js. Over the years, the vast majority of themes and plugins have switched to the new extension, which provides much better compatibility with modern JavaScript tooling. We are now formally deprecating the use of .js.es6, and will remov…

Why do you keep doing things like this rather than maintain compatibility? This is just creating more work for no reason. It costs nothing to allow the old and new extensions. They are just filenames. Some of us are trying to do other things, not spend our lives updating Discourse plugins. I’ve a…

I understand that this change is frustrating and I would like to find a path to maintaining these plugins if they’re important to the sites using them, specifically so we don’t end up with broken functionality. If there’s any possibility of keeping you involved in that process, that would be prefera…
