How far behind Angular releases do we expect nx to be?

[markgoho]

I'm on the latest version of nx/workspace, but my @angular/core version is two minor versions behind. Is this acceptable to the community? Are we okay with this kind of delay moving forward?

Just for your info, this just landed #4788

Thanks @beeman!

@brandonroberts Are 17 file changes going to be required every time we want to update to a new release of Angular?

@markgoho no, I doubt that will be the case on every update. To answer your other question about the latest version, it depends. We try to get updates in as quickly as possible, along with bug fixes and other work. Each update requires additional testing to try to ensure we don't break any workspaces.

@brandonroberts is there any way to make the process a bit clearer so that any community member could potentially update Angular to a new version? Is that fantasy-land?
