Hi leerob, I am using NextJS from v.10 in production, and I believe it is amazingly effective way to write complex web applications really fast.

Recently (I would say, after the latest investment round), I as a developer see lots of new features implemented seems rushed, not complete or having no thought about community as a whole.

- API Middlewares are not working as expected [1]

- The new pages layout (i.e. app/) are super-weird, implemented in a completely different way from pages/ with 2 incompatible API sets - one for pages/ (i presume soon to be declared legacy and unmaintained, and shiny new but still experimental?)

- Images API just as others pointed, are beneficial to some tiny subset of developers who have bunch of static images locally. But for most projects it is not useful at all at the current implementation.

- Your release versioning does not make sense for a mature stable product. When you release new major version (e.g. v.13) you stop supporting older v.12 version.

- Could you give balazsorban44 bigger team? Next-Auth needs more love to be a great product.
