Honestly this is just a case of open source software users expecting a free lunch. Firstly, the maintainers of this package don’t owe you anything, secondly the new version of neovim and treesitter-cli are already in Arch extra testing, and since they don’t break anything they’ll probably be in extra next week, so chill the fuck out. If you have a problem with how open source works just please head back to vscode.

Incredibly based response to the "I am the customer" energy in OSS.

This is why I built nvim from source, and git pull plugins into the pack directory. I think it's even a static binary. Whatever changes I need I git pull. After they added LSP I have not wished for anything else really, so I stopped pulling. I think I pulled LSP completion API in 0.11 era but that's it. Hate it when people break backwards compatibility. For me it's sacrosanct, more important than absolutely anything else. I only have a handful of plugins so the system works well. And I have a 500 line init.vim (and no other config). Some ecosystems like golang share this principle and so I can freely update packages without worrying about breakages. But other ecosystems(nvim, python, etc) I'm a lone warrior
