I get that both will be happening by the end of the year (maybe sooner, but iirc, the UCP migration is supposed to be finished before 2020 ends), so there's not much difference in the timing, but:

"As announced last year, we will be sunsetting the Special:Forum feature ahead of migrating the remaining Forums-enabled communities to the Unified Community Platform."

is what I was referring to when I said I hoped Special:Forum would stick around until UCP migration.

Firefox 45.9.0 ESR tells me I cannot perform further updates on my system. I have a more recent version of the Pale Moon browser, but even the most recent one my system can handle does not play well with recaptcha, so I can't use it to log in on Fandom. Chrome, Chromium, and Opera as fully updated as possible, but they are even more out-of-date than Firefox. As I said in my previous post, I'm SOL, but I don't expect Fandom to cater to the microscopic segment of users that I represent. That said, aside from Discussions, the most recent tests I've done with UCP have been remarkably well-behaved, even on my ancient system.
