Extended Winamp and others with no recent author presence: emergency Python 3 compatibility releases to go out this week, community maintenance
Nobody is talking about a legacy mode. It can't, and it won't. We're talking about the website. The add-ons website: whether to leave add-ons that are stable now, but become non-functional under 2019.

[nvda-devel] Concern about terminology in developer guides
I wrote that section with the thought of very new developers in mind, trying to cut down on information overload and eliminate confusion. Which is the very definition of an add-on as well, is it not?
