uh oh yeah thats a concern, but I will take that risk over shit like this where personal files are just getting wiped. Most users dont need bleeding edge software. You can run months behind and be fine in most cases.
I read release notes. When an update comes out, unless some big feature that I need is introduced, I skip it.
Slight sidebar: it's so frustrating that Adobe made the new Lightroom some cloud based monstrosity. For photographers with serious workflows involving local disks, we're now relegated to "Lightroom Classic" which makes me feel like I'll be discontinued in N years from now. I hope they change course and drop this whole cloud thing, the yearly subscription model is bad enough.
They've also pulled off an incredibly hostile move for paid users of older Lightrooms - they're refusing to update it for 64bit-only OS X. The app itself is 64bit (in fact, the app itself is _only_ 64bit), but its licensing/installer components are not. So if you update OS X, it's not guaranteed that Lightroom (that you paid for) will run, or if it does, how long it will continue running for. This isn't some ancient…
Well, this is as good a time as any then to try out Darktable [1]! [1] https://www.darktable.org/
I used Lightroom (Classic) all of last decade and its time to move on
Crazy to think I used “newfangled non destructive non layer based editing” longer than I used photoshop the decade before
Yeah time for something new

Wow is that old fashioned local software without a subscription. I didn't know that was available, sounds perfect. I'm a guy that only wants to upgrade every 5 years and the subscriptions are offensively expensive.

Sadly for my A7ii all the RAW files come out exposed incorrectly since the last few updates :( And by almost 3 EV too. I know it's not because of the file, since they look just fine in Lightroom.
