So we are very reluctant to\ndepend on any feature introduced in a more recent RVU. Once the oldest drops\noff support, we can use newer APIs without concern of a customer hitting a\nnon-supported condition - they can use older versions of git. There are very\nrare conditions where an incompatibility is introduced, which we try to work\naround. The now current oldest drops out May 2022. At that point we can\nprune a few more things. Some customers may stick with older releases (with\nextra paid support) but my group is not bound to that - independent and\nvolunteers. Of course, if someone wants to pay... \n\n> \n> Will queue.
