No. XenForo's failure to provide direction to its customers is just one of a handful of variables under consideration. It has nothing to do with what the forum community expects and everything to do with my ability to plan for the future. If you're just living life day to day without any long-term planning then you won't get far. I get that you like XenForo. I do too. But I think you have too much free time on your hands. XenForo doesn't need you to cheerlead for them.
Considering I'm retired after 30 years of public service, you could say I have lots of free time on my hands.
You see, I don't HAVE to do "long term planning". My planning consists of being able to get up, scratch my butt and drink my coffee and think about what I want to do that day.
The ONLY long range planning I have to do now is if we want to take a trip in the RV... have to make sure we have places to stay, and with the influx of people that bought RV's during COVID since they couldn't do their "normal" vacations, you do have to make reservations a few months in advance.
Oh, I forgot... I also have to keep up with the weather to see if I want to put the astro equipment up that night for captures.
As for liking XF.. yep, and I like a lot about IPS also. And also Burning Board.
And my point remains valid. If 2.2.x is currently working for you then you are not being "damaged" by not knowing, and to top it off, if they gave out "early hints/ideas" about 2.3 that you then made plans around, and then that information did not pan out (which has happened in the past) then you'd be screaming bloody murder about "being misled".
