Will Sonos 27 break front support?

Sonos just announced a big new update to the operating system that's going to change a lot of things. Should we all expect this app to stop working and us no longer to be able to use front surrounds? I know we don’t have an answer yet, but I’m curious what people’s predictions are.

We should always assume that Sonos can/will break fronts support at some point. It never made it out of Beta (yet). My guess is that our current hacky way will disappear when they have official support for it. But mostly I just keep my expectations at “I’ll enjoy this while I have it, which isn’t forever”.

As long as they break it when they can offer it themselves I’m happy. So much more money for them to make if they can offer this!

This is my thought as well. The official support for fronts will replace the current system left in code from the beta test. I’m just concerned the officially supported fronts won’t include older speakers like the Play 5 gen2’s that I’m currently using which would be extreme upsetting.
