This forum isn’t very active and posting here isn’t a good way to reach the developers.

There are active discussion rooms on the Matrix. [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Matrix](https://wiki.mozilla.org/Matrix)  
The #introduction room is for learning about code development – that’s where I would start if I wanted an answer to a question about versions of components.
