Does seem likely. Getting on the latest ESR (and being a bit more vigilant testing) seems like a good plan from now on.
I don’t think pace of development is a problem per se. It’s the pace of everything. Why hasn’t the plugin tutorial been updated for instance? It’s a mine waiting to blow up in the face of some poor sap who wants to build a plugin. It’ll work for the moment, but eventually they will face the same problem I have. The fix isn’t to use AI to fix the plugin later, but to fix the instructions about making a plugin now. I mean, there’s no reason to still teach the old way of doing things, is there?
