The package is behind the default Python syntax in adopting new syntax features and in adhering to the scoping standards that the community has established for the default packages. It also has access to branching and can thus reliably detect whether a curly brace begins a set or a dict literal over multiple lines.
Besides, the latest update installable via Package Control has been released over 4 years ago because no tag has been pushed to the repo since and that is required for Package Control to pick up new versions.

Thus, I propose to discourage installation for ST4 users. Users of older versions may still want to install it because their default packages won't receive any updates anymore. You should also push a new tag to the repo to allow installation of the latest changes for ST users of older versions.

Bump.

There is very little reason to do this when the default syntax
definition is much better due to using the `sublime-syntax` format,
follows the scope naming standards and is actively maintained, because
this package hasn't had a tag pushed in 4 years despite seeing *some*
changes, albeit the last one over a year ago.

A pull request asking for clarification of the support status for ST4
has not been answered for 8 months.
