Okay first of all i know many many many people will disagree with me and will probably stop reading right about now, but hear me out.
In my opinion i believe keeping forge on 1 version of Minecraft and updating it for that version only would make it very easy and less stressful for modders, forge devs, consumers and for everyone who uses the wonderful Minecraft Forge. Now i know what your thinking "WHY?!!! WHAT ABOUT *Insert totally awesome new feature from latest version of minecraft*?!!!!!" mods can add *Insert feature here* and even do a better job at it.
If we allow Minecraft forge to be non-parallel to Minecraft versions it will be easier for Modders to develop mods and the Mods don't need to be updated thus taking the dependency away from the developers to keep up with Minecraft's frankly insane updating pattern. since the Minecraft code stays the same the forge devs will have an easier time developing new hooks and new awesome features without the fear of their work being nulled as soon as Minecraft updates.
If this comes into effect mods will no longer become in-compatible and we would be able to use them for ever unless forge changes something vital to the mod
Just remember this is my opinion i am not forcing you to accept it, that's why its in the suggestions forum
