# WordPress 5.0

 * I’ve been reading a lot about the upcoming RC of WordPress 5.0 lately. Some of
   it doesn’t sound good to me. Lots of bugs yet to be worked out and such.
 * I like updated software as much as the next person, but I’m not really familiar
   with client-side hosting and CMS yet. I just recently started using an acutal
   host with WordPress.org instead of free blogging service.
 * Due to my unfamiliarity using WordPress and an actual web host I cringe to think
   about installing the new RC on my website if it still has many kinks to work 
   out.
 * So, my question is, if I don’t update to the new RC of WordPress on my web host
   and I keep my current version will I run into any problems?
 * Can I keep running the same version I’m running with the same plugins I using
   and not have any problems in the future? Or are there things I should think about?
 * Is there any reason I SHOULD update to 5.0 when it is released whenever that 
   might be?
 * Thanks for any help

 * The only difference between 4.9 and 5.0 is (supposed to be) the addition of Gutenberg.
   You can use the [Classic Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/)
   plugin to shut that off in you would prefer to.

 * Is it true that we can use Classic Editor just till 2021 and than we all have
   to accept Gutenberg?
