> Then complain to the companies you license software from for continuing to build on a soft-deprecated platform.
You think we haven't been doing this? We had a representative from one of these vendors come in to discuss their roadmap, they told us straight up that "We still intend to keep using Python 2".
> Don't complain to developers for ignoring a platform whose deprecation was announced over a decade ago.
Yes, because web dev is the hot tech stuff now, nobody wants to work in a boring sector, so they are not willing to change anything, cycle continues.
> And certainly don't badmouth people who are using the not-deprecated tool as being ok with unstable infra.
I read this sentence twice and I still don't understand what you're trying to say, clarify?
