not trans -- trans-adjacent, though this line from the post makes me wonder:

On January 14, 2026, @lovelydinosaur mentions that they are open to others creating a 1.6.2 release of MkDocs, while they are working on MkDocs v2 in private.

i don't even care about all the drama bullshit, but it is interesting to read about the life and death of these kinds of projects. would be cool if it started with the advent of mkdocs, rather than right in the middle of the beginning of the end.
