Hi!
Welcome here and congrats on being false on all your assumptions!
- We never prevented anyone to post here, it's a community forum. Everyone is free (and even more: welcome!) to provide constructive feedback
- In our last 12 or 15 XO release blog post (I truly invite you to take a look at them, they are a goldmine of information, and if you don't like to read, we even do a video and a podcast at each XO release!), we wrote and told out loud that XO 6 and XO Lite are sharing similar components, to make things more coherent but also simplify things to avoid doing the same work twice

- XO 6 isn't finished and we spent the last 3 or 4 release blog post to explain in details why and how to configure the interface of your choice by default. XO 5 won't disappear tomorrow.
- About the reasons of XO 6, we also wrote and spoke hours about it, so in the end, I think it's pretty good reason to stay tuned on our blog. And if don't want to catch up years of missed blog post, now any LLM will do a decent recap, especially if you point it to the XO Blog!
Let us know if you have constructive feedback to provide, happy to help!
