Legacy Dynamic Lighting

I'm thinking about going Pro to make use of Dynamic Lighting, but according to a lot of stuff I read, Updated Dynamic Lighting is still extremly buggy. Because of this I would like to know: Is Legacy Dynamic Lighting still available? If so, how long will it continue to be available (at minimum)? It wouldn't make sense to set up a whole campaign with legacy dynamic lighting only to have it removed entirely in favor of updated dynamic lighting in a few weeks. Are the Pathfinder adventure paths from the marketplace (especially Rise of the Runelords), which are already set up with dynamic lighting using legacy or updated? Or can you choose? Thank you in advance for answering!

Yes LDL is still available, and the Devs have stated that it will remain until UDL is ready for prime time. Given how long it has been taking so far and the number of bugs that remain, I suspect LDL will still be available for quite a while. Not sure about the PF adventures, but most 5e modules at least have had LDL defaulted, so I would assume the same for PF. There was one notable exception recently, but I can't recall which one it was. It caused a stir and I believe there is a help desk request to get it reverted. EDIT - aside from DL, using api scripts with Pro will change your life. So many cool scripts out there that make things so much easier.
Thank you for your reply, that was really helpful!
