I hope this happens.

I understand the resistance, but this attitude is what will kill WordPress in the long run. The resistance to updating WordPress, updating PHP versions, Gutenberg, etc. is a problem.

I get it, WordPress is 15 years old and not exactly a community of early adopters, but we have to be smart enough to see around corners and understand what we need to do to continue moving forward. Believe me, WordPress failing to progress and move forward will cause much more disruption in the long run.

The status quo is comfortable, but stasis always is. It’s also deadly in the long run.
