Is it really debatable that every change to the performance of the cars is geared towards entertainment and not performance?
If we can agree on that then you have your answer.
We want maximum performance, and May the best team(s) win

I guess if they stay at js.org then that makes it hard. Trying to think of maybe other ways to handle it.
But I guess so long as the sites link to each other as they do now it's still ok

it might not be practical, but my FAVORITE thing @acemarke.dev did with Redux was add the style guide/best practices.
Not sure if a great resource like this exists, is feasible, or anything like that - but this was a godsend to help our team migrate to "modern" redux redux.js.org/style-guide/

the well-worn post on X saying "this is the real React 18 release" is a good example of the fear "you're leaving me behind" has (I know we already litigated that).
I'm not trying to say you're actively doing a bad job, just mentioning a fundamental tone that I think would help

Here's an example of what you guys do to say what _not_ to do. The fact it fits on one page I think points to what I mean.
react.dev/reference/re...
I think utilizing this more, like "if it's not listed here, we _actively_ support it" but not only is this not very visible, I don't see it discussed

Perhaps being louder about aspects that are TRULY being deprecated would serve you well as a counter balance.
“If we were killing this feature we’d do so the same way we killed (fill in the blank)”
Like createClass still works but is actively discouraged.
Be loud with what you actually discourage

Best advice I can give is do not ever say anything new is “ideal” or even hint at “this is what we want everyone to do”
I think we can all handle “here’s a new tool for your tool belt” but any amount of “this should be your first tool of choice always” will make us lose our minds

My impact has been better here than over there.
Not that I expect to be in a position to capitalize on it, my impact is so tiny.
It’s just what little impact I have seems stronger here.
