Do HA devs and HACS devs collab?

Support

The frequency of core updates lately has been a really nice surprise. But does anyone know if HA devs communicate changes to HACS devs ahead of time that could potentially break cards or other HACS items?

I wouldn’t expect them to monitor specifics since these are third party integrations, but given the popularity of HACS, I figure a heads up about potential issues a day or two in advance wouldn’t be much effort and would save numerous headaches for users.

It seems like more and more frequently HACS devs are racing to make their releases compliant with surprise updates that have impacted functionality. Even just a warning in the HA core update text for users would go a long way.
