Thanks for your reply. I do not see Drupal being reconfigured in a way that will make our lives easier. Reliance on the Symfony framework means that a new version of Drupal will be required as Symfony advances. I know that there is an effort afoot to integrate composer into Drupal core but I am not sure that that will happen in my lifetime (I'm 62). The optimal solution would be to keep D7 functional and have folks pay a small fee for maintenance / security upgrades. No matter, I am moving to Wordpress. Which makes me feel like I'm dumbing down my sites.
