Breaking user installs is not aggressively keeping up to date. Have a blank map in the UI that didn’t work for years is not aggressively keeping up to date. Rearchitecting major components three times in five years is not aggressively keeping up to date. Creating, recommending, then removing an install method all within about 3 years is not aggressively keeping up to date. Having four different ways to configure things is not aggressively keeping up to date.

It’s having no discipline nor foresight and instead throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks.

I bought a "conbee" (basically a USB Zigbee dongle) and after setting up their DeConz software and detecting all my devices (IKEA, Philips, Lidl) I never bothered with Home assistant. Or should I say, I started to, but gave up because it was a pain in the neck and anything it offered beyond what DeConz did, wasn't worth the hassle. I always meant to go back and have another go, but over a year later I simply don't have the motivation.
