[pywikibot] Re: Bots and tools need to upgrade to Pywikibot 6.6.1

[masti]

one thing that falls to my mind:
there are a lot of changes and breaking changes. But please keep in mind 
tha ta lot of bots are run by people that do it in their free time. They 
are not focused on doing that as their primary job. Please try to keep 
pywikibot updates in a way that allows for them to keep up.


I have bots that run on very outdated code and they do run fine. That 
means that forcing updates is not necessary.

It's probably best if we continue the discussion about *when* this 
happens on the task itself where I had already replied to you: 
.


I intentionally didn't include any timeline in this upgrade announcement 
because I have no idea if it'll change again. Regardless of when it does 
happen, people will still need to upgrade, and they're better off doing 
it sooner rather than later.

Hi Kunal,

I'll repeat what I said on the task: This task is tagged as priority 
low. It would be completely ridiculous to push this through now knowing 
what amount of fallout this will cause.
