This article uses such odd phrasing.

> Flask 3.0 was released on September 30th, 2023, along with a parallel 3.0 release of Werkzeug

> That day, the Flask-Login extension, one of the most popular of all Flask extensions, stopped working

Every major release BY DEFINITION will break things.

And breaking "that day"? It's really "that second" or "that nanosecond" by the same standard.

You can complain about one of two things:

1. Flask did not need to developed a backwards incompatible 3.0 release, but could have developed a backwards compatible 2.* release.

2. Flask-login is too slow to release a version compatible with the newest version of Flask released 3 weeks ago.

But this blog post presents it in...such a weird way.
