I don't think maintainers should cater to my whim — if they want to write software that breaks all the time, they should do it. But, per https://www.patreon.com/posts/27662175, I want to know that's their attitude so I can avoid their software.

E.g., with Hugo, literally everyone I know who uses it runs some ancient version because the amount of work it takes to migrate is greater than the effort to write a custom SSG, but this means their site has all sorts of annoying bugs because they don't get bug fixes.
