I find the repeated deprecations on GitHub Actions frustrating to work with. One of the key goals of a build system is to be able to come back to a project after several years and just having the build work out of the box.
Yet with GHA I need to update actions/checkout@v2 to actions/checkout@vwhatever (or, what I'm doing now, actions/checkout@main because the actual API haven't actually changed) because... some Node version is "out of maintenance"?!
GHA is literally code execution as a service. Why would I care whether the Node runner has a security vulnerability?
