Product Decisions This Supports

Upgrade planning: v1.4.0 drops Statamic 4 support, so adoption now requires Statamic ^5.73 or ^6.4. Roadmap and release timing must account for that platform dependency.
Dependency risk: The package is actively narrowing its support matrix. This is healthy for teams on current Statamic versions, but risky for teams still locked to Statamic 4.
Build vs buy: If your application is on a supported Statamic version and the package covers a needed integration, adoption is reasonable. If you are on Statamic 4, budget for a Statamic upgrade, pin to an older package release, or evaluate an alternative/fork.
Release scope: This is a compatibility/breaking-change release, not a feature release. Treat it as an upgrade gate, not as new product capability.

When to Consider This Package

Consider it when your application is already on Statamic ^5.73 or ^6.4 and the package solves a concrete Laravel/Statamic use case.
Consider it when your team can absorb periodic breaking support-matrix changes and keeps dependencies current.
Look elsewhere or delay adoption if you are locked to Statamic 4, need long-term support for older Statamic versions, or cannot coordinate a platform upgrade.
Validate the package’s actual feature set, maintenance cadence, and upgrade guide separately; the v1.4.0 release note establishes compatibility constraints, not feature value.

Executives: v1.4.0 is a maintenance/compatibility release. It reduces the maintainer’s support burden and signals active maintenance, but it may trigger Statamic upgrade cost. There is no urgent new feature upside.
Engineering: Confirm the app is on Statamic ^5.73 or ^6.4 before upgrading this package. Test addon interactions, deployment rollback, and any remaining Statamic 4 dependencies.
Product: Treat this as a dependency gate in the roadmap. Schedule the package upgrade alongside the Statamic upgrade rather than as an independent change.
