v3 didn't last four years. Can we expect much different from v4?

If you're migrating your zod 3 code, I'd migrate to something more stable and long-lived than v4 is likely to be -- unless you want to be going through it all again in a few years (and yet again a few years after that, etc).

I don't blame the maintainers (I assume they don't have a fat support and maintenance contract)

But developers need to go in with their eyes open when it comes to adopting these throw-away libraries and frameworks.

This seems unnecessarily cynical, 4 years is a pretty long time to go between major versions for a library like this, and if you look at the breaking changes they're not exactly severe. This isn't a React Router situation where you need to re-write your whole app.

What's the implication here?
