Correct. It is unbelievable the arrogance of them to make a move like that. Without any real testing apparently. Then to make a statement basically telling the users to buzz off when they ask for the old version back. We have been spending many hours deleting contact form 7 and replacing with WPforms. I have found this plug in to be a suitable replacement.
The author of Contact form 7 basically cost my company a minimum of $500 for all the work put into changing these plug-ins.
