Though both Dendrite and Conduit (meaning Ruma) have not had the same amount of time as Synapse to
reach maturity on v9-capable versions, both the Dendrite and Conduit communities appear to update to
newer versions much more quickly. This implies, without statistics to back it up, that nearly all
Dendrite servers out there will have upgraded and that a similar percentage of Conduit servers will
upgrade once available.

least sane and accomplishable, even if a bit difficult to incorporate.
