To be completely honest, that’s what it has been for quite some time (maybe since its inception?), and most devs inside KDE have long understood this. It’s not reasonable to expect users to also have this information, so the the new messaging aimed at them simply reflects long-running reality, not some major recent shift.
Changing the reasons why Neon is in this state is an extremely complex task and no one can guarantee will happen quickly, if at all. It’s for that reason that I decided to re-align the messaging with reality in advance of the reality being improved.
