- zapt02 13y agoMe and everyone I have talked to in the WP dev community have exactly the opposite experience. I have used plugins that haven't been updated for four years without any issues.
- r0s 13y agoAre you sure there's no security issues introduced since those plugins were last updated?
- lambda 13y agoI'm not necessarily comparing to WordPress. What I'm saying is that they should be going in the other direction; towards better backwards compatibility. Of course, one way to achieve this is less reliance on add-ons, so you have less API surface to expose. Having a usable WordPress install relies so heavily on add-ons that it's kind of pointless to consider WordPress alone.
