I share your frustration Joerm, as a small startup who started with Polymer 1 we still have some of our components in V1. It's messy business but V2 upgrade to 3 is even worst just like you mentioned, having issue with many components in V2 still. luckily we sort of invested some time and just made pretty much all the components ourselves but that comes with it's own cost. Overall, we're grateful for Polymer team's great work and yet expect a little bit more attention to the service they're providing otherwise they can easily send many people down some rabbit wholes and leave us in a ditch.
