Hi, I recently posted to the help-gnu-emacs mailing list about using the org-mode package "org-drill" and its long-term viability considering that it is no longer actively maintained - you can see the thread [here](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2021-04/msg00230.html).
The responses I got often pointed to the fact that while Emacs Lisp tries to strictly say backwards-compatible, there may be no guarantee for OrgMode, the functions of which (as well as some other misc. libraries) org-drill relies on. Are any measures being done to make org-mode backwards compatible, so that older plugins aren't crippled by new updates? A cursory DuckDuckGo yields [this](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10636589) HackerNews comment, which seems to suggest that the "developers don't care at all about breakage". This may still hold true, but the comment was written in 2015 and I wanted to make sure so that I could: (a) proceed with educated caution using org-drill, fixing bugs where necessary (b) using an alternate spaced repetition application, ie. Anki/Mnemosyne (the two open source flashcard applications) Thanks, ~~~
