Well you will as it clearly states. Sucks for third party devs because they will have to get their outdated products up to code and learn how. "leverage" was used as a clever term to put dtg in the driver seat until 3rd party devs catch up which may be months. But its encouraging they still want to release tools to devs. Its literally like starting all over again. I'm not worried.
