I’m not a PM, but I’ve been in the room during those conversations. Granted, I’ve never had to rely on a ton of native extensions (at least in a business context, personal stuff for sure). It’s just like any other dependency. Sometimes you can afford to freeze on a single version until the end of the project, but most of the time projects I’ve been on will regularly upgrade the third party stuff we rely on if for no other reason than security, with things like arm64 support coming along for the ride. We usually prefer to be able to get help with our issues faster than our tickets getting closed with “fixed in new version update”, of course weighing that against breaking API changes or what have you.
