To go back to the original title of this article, ClassicPress is at a crossroads. It needs to adapt or die.

One of the biggest obstacles to using CP is, and always has been, the lack of a robust, supporting ecosystem. Without this, it will very likely die. Forking WP 6.x will give a temporary reprieve but that’s all and it’s not sustainable.

If it were up to me (which it isn’t), I would continue with the current CP core and then put all effort into building up the ecosystem.
