The question was clearly phrased in a way to cater those who are already aware of the situation.
I have no issue explaining the situation, if politely asked to.
If by 'can of worms' you mean exactly what is happening with Bitcoin Core, I can't disagree, but let's simplify - Open-source development happening behind closed doors is not open-source as far as the general ethos goes.
Especially when valid concerns are brought up only for the people who bring up those concerns to get banned from the discussion. You can agree or disagree.
Running an older release is an option, but eventually won't be sustainable if you want to use newer features.
Finally, I'm not looking so much to dwell on the happenings because that's already being discussed to length on multiple fronts, but making it known that alternatives exist and that Core (the big 'default' up to this point) is not the only option, because thinking it is, is the bigger issue in my view.
