We're looking at moving to Expo from RN precisely to reduce the pain & risk of RN+dependency upgrades just to stay compatible.

Google (and Apple) have been keeping us on the upgrade treadmill, so I'm hoping Expo can be responsible for handling that and maintain a stable API for our apps and dependencies.

Have had our apps on expo for a while. Highly recommend, much easier upgrades and you can turn off any platform vendor stuff like their OTA updates and do local builds also. Expo + RN has saved us a ton of time on our apps and no way a small team like us could support both platforms otherwise.

What makes you think Expo is not going to just be more of the same? Genuine question.

		They manage so much of the pain points, like the toolchain, building, releasing etc. It’s night and day compared to using RN directly
