Choosing Astro v6 (beta)

This is a framing post. There is no code change associated with it.

Why Astro

• What Astro optimizes for that matches a blog built for reading
• What I’m intentionally not using Astro for (yet)

Why v6 now (and what risk I’m accepting)

• What I’m trying to learn by adopting v6 early
• What I’m treating as provisional
• What would cause me to downgrade or change course

The “mainstream direction” check

• What defaults I’m following instead of fighting
• Where I’ll diverge only if the blog’s needs demand it

What I expect to change as v6 stabilizes

• APIs, adapters, deployment posture, and content ergonomics
• How I’ll keep the series honest when the ground shifts
