Problem to solve

Currently we change the minimum version of the relevant IDE for extensions approximately every 3 months meaning that we support IDEs roughly 12 months old.

For certain customers it can be challenging to roll out newer IDE releases quickly enough so that they can keep track of our extension upgrades. This can lead to extensions being automatically upgraded on IDE versions that are not supported and lead to user frustration.

Proposal

Clearer communication around upcoming IDE version deprecations and a more gradual transition path would be extremely helpful.
