- the owner of nvim-treesitter gets a really shitty comment from a user saying that the update to a required version broke their workflow
- the owner replies saying "hey just pin what you need instead of mainlining it if you need this for an older version"

like, holy shit, what a power move.
![screenshot of github comment thread shushtain 2 days ago Yeah, completely dropping support for v0.11 on day 1 of v0.12 release by removing a single check is insane. If the problem is keeping up with constant updates to parsers, there should be at least some grace period. I'm basically cut off from updates until Arch package passes all safety checks. Just because of the "insane burden" lifted by this commit: c82bf96 clason 2 days ago Maintainer OK, I kept my silence because I didn't want to deal with this but: This plugin has officially required Nvim 0.12 for a long time; since people apparently can't read and kept opening issues and PRs about Nvim 0.11, I was forced to make 0.11 a hard error (the dropped compat shim was incidental). And it bears repeating that this plugin is still experimental; there's a pinned issue about the roadmap. If and when we hit stable, then there will be releases. For now, just pin to whatever commit you want and stop upgrading. (People like you are the "insane burden".) shushtain 2 days ago No, it's actually this plugin's docs and commit messages that treat people like burden. I have defended your position on master-main switch, but the current statement is simply not true: the plugin worked in Neovim 0.11 up until that very commit. Unlike you, I try to stick to what people do, not what people are. So please, do go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people.
