> that's no diss on Jeff, I think he does an awesome job

Honest question: How is Lambda runtime version rot acceptable to an "awesome" top exec like Jeff Barr? Is someone else demanding he siphon resources away from maintaining key services? What data-driven metric says maintaining service quality shouldn't be continually prioritized?

I'm open to any explanation, but the logical conclusion I see if the lack of prioritization only really makes sense if internally, Lambda is considered a gimmicky toy. Where is the "Customer Obsession" mantra here?

A large portion of the most valuable work in software is of the boring, unsexy variety needed to keep key pillars working smoothly.
