Proposed resolution

Remaining tasks & Discussions

Here some thoughts about the roadmap of Paragraphs.

Two things led to awareness that we have limitations

• the goal to #2807371: META Support Content Moderation module newly expising forward revisions to end users via UI
• the goal to #2771531: [META] Remove obsolete composite entities from existing storage (garbage collection) requiring revisions as origins to assess usage of a Paragraph

People expressed the need to support the assymmetric translation implemented in
#2461695: Support asymmetric translations for the classic widget with currently a separate issue to do the same in the experimental widget. #2904705: Support asymmetric translation in experimental widget

We're doing bugfixes only in the classic widget since more than a year and i'm not willing to add more functionality there.

Garbage collection is an issue for all (or a growing amount of) users and with core declaring content moderation stable, there is pressure to address these issues first. Moreover officially supporting asymmetric translation contains risk to add complexity to the other issues and thus slow them down.
