Maintenance Status Internal Link

These components are wrappers around our core VanillaJS components. We can automatically update these components (fix bugs, add features) without publishing this library, so while it may not be published for a while that does not mean FastComments is not under active development! Feel free to check our blog for updates. Breaking API changes or features will never be shipped to the underlying core library without a version bump in this library.
