In the most recent AMA, I did ask about updating products.
They did respond about continuing updates in general.
The summary is that they have continued to do updates when high-impact bugs are brought to their attention through Fix-it-Friday, but in 2023 they focussed more on getting the other non-camera products to be “stable” (adding new features usually introduces more instability that needs to be worked through). So they mostly paused adding a lot of new feature updates to most products.
I believe they do intend to get back to doing other fun stuff in the longterm.
Regardless, your letter here is a great support to the same thing I wrote them in the open letter I linked to above. I think they have been really responsive and open to feedback and you sharing that will be helpful for everyone. Thanks for the time and thought you put into it.
