Thanks for all your work on these PRs, Vlad. Reviewing them, though, doesn't seem to me like they were ignored. Lots of discussion and back and forth on all of them.
A good baseline assumption when a framework or feature in Rails isn't seeing specific updates for a while is that it's doing what it needs to do for the people who originally contributed. I wrote a bunch of the original code with Pratik and Matthew, but now it Just Works for my needs, so I've directed my personal attention elsewhere. That doesn't mean the project is abandoned, just that there's an ebb and flow in many open source contributors bandwidth for specific projects or features. Since these tickets saw the majority of their interaction, we've pushed hard to get Rails 5.1 out, which included a bunch of other things. So that's where a lot of the energy went. In terms of plans, I don't think there's anything more specific for Action Cable than for any of the other frameworks. We keep working, keep improving. But PRs need reviews, which means bandwidth from senior contributors in a position to apply that. Doubly so if the changes are large. And that bandwidth will, as described above, wax and wane. I see that Kasper was the last Rails core contributor to help with the reviews. He's just shipped encrypted secrets and the form_with unification for Rails 5.1. So maybe he'll have more time to pick this back up with that out the door. But it would be great to have more eyes on the reviews as well. Open invitation to anyone who's interested in diving in and understanding Action Cable.
