Question on Appian Common Objects package

10 months & a few releases later and it looks like there are no updates or suggestions from Appian about using the common objects. It would be good to know if the Common Objects app as well as other shared components are being maintained or at least tested with newer versions of Appian. Other than extensive testing by each customer there isn't an easy way to know if upgrading Appian will cause shared components to break or not work as expected when they don't list the version # or an updated date on the component page. My team spends significant amounts of time testing our applications (both developers and our internal business customers) prior to upgrading and this is one of the reasons we only upgrade every 3-5 releases. If we had more assurance that Appian releases were stable, what was deprecated would still work in our code and that the 40 or so custom plugins we have in production were tested we could probably save hundreds of man hours of work and get the benefits of upgrading faster & more frequently.
