" Most plugins used on Drupal sites are compatible and/or obsolete with the new version"
What does this mean?

longwaveCan you link to where you saw this sentence? The release notes don't mention this: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/9.1.0
It sounds like this may be talking about Composer plugins, as most Composer plugins are either compatible with or no longer needed for Composer 2.0, but it's hard to tell without seeing the full context.

fkelly12054@gmail.com commentedOkay, thanks @longwave. I didn't get the context. Maybe if it said "Most composer plugins ..." it would be clearer. No, looking at it again even if you say Most composer plugins used ... err how about "Most composer plugins are compatible or no longer needed with the new version". I know that's a nit ... or "Most composer plugins are compatible and no longer needed (and will automatically bypassed) with the new version".
Usually if I try to run obsolete code it causes problems.

longwaveThanks for the feedback, I agree this could be worded better - I've passed this on to the author of the blog post.
