In reply to Kerry.

Kerry, I totally agree with you.

We are not against change. As a maintenance company, what we want for our clients is stability.

I just can't believe 4.9.9 was scratched like this and that a RC is planned for next month. How about a beta with a "stable" version of Gutenberg that is in use ?

The plugins we developed won't be impacted by Gutenberg because they almost all are back-end plugins. But I can't imagine the pressure plugin authors like WPML, Polylang, Caldera Forms and others are feeling right now. We are mainly asking them to adjust their work, for the millions of users they handle, based on an un-stable plugin.

That is insane.

I'm not interested in setting a date. I'm interested in a release of a stable plugin for Gutenberg, a couple of months for developers to adjust and then, adding it to the core.

It feels to me that the fact that no major version would be released in 2018 is a problem. That shouldn't be.
