(3) Windows has now settled on a twice-a-year major update cadence. (Contrary to what some may assume, Adobe does make development versions of these products, including InDesign, available to these third party developers such that they can be ready when we ship!) It such updates are not made in a timely fashion and you update InDesign, you may find yourself blown out of the water in terms of font manager support until such updates come from the font manager's developer!
