Also, there is one massive part here that people are missing. From the release notes:

>We intend to keep supporting the 3.x branch indefinitely (published separately on npm to aid in migration), although there will likely not be any future major versions based on that code. 4.0 is the future, but we won't leave you hanging if you want to stick with 2.x/3.x.

It's not like they are pulling what Bootstrap did and just leaving everyone on the old version out to die. They are going to be supporting the 3.x branch indefinitely.

If you don't want to move, then don't! It's not going to suddenly explode, they will still accept changes for that branch, and bug fixes will still happen.

In fact, 3.0 is still being developed. I just pushed out beta.1: https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/releases/tag/v...
Glad to hear it! I'd recommend putting more info on your support of 3.x/2.x in the FAQ linked here for when other places eventually pick it up.

The only reason I knew that was because I took at look at v4 yesterday when i was bumping up some of my dependencies before our freeze.

With the recent Bootstrap issues still fresh in many's minds, and the already bad reputation that many think the JS ecosystem is "doomed" to continue, it would help to really drive home the point that you aren't just hanging everyone out to dry.
