GitHub Pages and Jekyll 4.0.0

Help
1

Jekyll 4.0.0 has been out for almost two months now, yet GitHub Pages still uses Jekyll 3.8.5. The differences in 4.0.0 features described in the documentation (such as the new {% link %} behaviour) make it a pain to be backwards compatible for GitHub Pages.

Does anyone know the typical amount of time GitHub Pages takes to adopt new Jekyll versions? Or a place where they might share these kind of timelines?

I’ve found a similar discussion as a GitHub issue on the pages-gem repository. That will probably be where the news is posted.
