Right now the plan is to sit on v4.x for the foreseeable future.

There's no reason to upgrade at this point and hiding updates is cake if you know a little code.

I'm paying close attention to ClassicPress, there seems to be a large community of talented people working on it and some of the things going into their v2 are exactly the kinds of things WordPress should have been focused on, even if they're not flashy.

There's a vision behind Gutenberg and I can see what it hopes to accomplish and how other pieces, like the Customizer, will eventually fit in. But I'm not convinced it's the right way to accomplish the end goal.

Change is the nature of the business. It's constant and never ending.
Sometimes tools change and sometimes people change tools.

Sometimes people change tools because the tools changed, sometimes it's because they find a better tool.
