Are the mods being upgraded for 1.12.x slower than usually, or vice versa, most of them need no upgrade?

Awaiting for the mods getting upgraded to 1.12.x, I have a feeling that on previous releases the mods were appearing much faster than this time.

So, is it actually so, and 1.12.x brought such deep changes, that the mod upgrade needs a lot this time?
Or vice versa, the 1.12.x is so friendly and compatible, that most of mods need no upgrade, so nobody cares?

Just to realize, whether to start downloading them, or this time it's too early, and it's better to try later?

It feels to me a bit slower, but that's because of unlucky timing. Some of the mods I use were already in the middle of enhancements before 1.12 came out, then 1.12 broke some things and gave the mod makers extra work to do.

Also have to consider burnout.  Many of these mods and modders have been maintaining and updating their mods for years.  Some may not even play KSP all that much anymore, which makes mod maintenance feel more like a chore.

It is also summer in half the world, which is vacation time for many, even more so after a summer of lock downs etc.
