 > [https://www.tiny.cloud/blog/tinymce-4-support-window/TinyMCE v4 hits
 end of life support on December 31, 2020].  I know that we have #47218 to
 discuss updating to TinyMCE v5 ([https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/changelog/
 currently at 5.3.2]), but instead of working to continually patch v4 this
 year wouldn't our efforts on TinyMCE be better focused on working on a
 [https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/migration-from-4x/ migration to v5]

 Perhaps but the work to migrate to 5.x will mostly depend on the plugin
 authors of WP plugins that add TinyMCE plugins :)

 Unfortunately TinyMCE 5.x comes with quite a few "potentially breaking
 changes", see the above link to the migration guide. WP can spend the time
 to migrate all nine custom TinyMCE plugins, but all of the WP plugins that
 add TinyMCE plugins will also need updating. In that terms the migration
 becomes more of an "organizational task" to get the plugins authors
 involved.
