Support for HEIC file format was included in Lightroom CC but still is needed in Lightroom Classic.  When will it be added?

[HEIC image support was added to LR 7.4 (for Mac OS 10.13 or later) and LR 7.5 (Windows 10).  (We're now at LR 8.2.1.) See https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/kb/heic-files-support.html.

Yes! you are dead on - the whole point of Aperture and Lightroom was to have master files that edits were just an instruction set operate from the master image.

In year 2000 we called cloud co-location.  Nothing new here except that web based applications have massive limitations.  They are clunky, slow, and really don't work well offline.

WOW! who knew! for a company with $9B in retained earnings, $2.3B in cash.  It is nice to see that they just crank out feature after feature - https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/adbe/financials?query=balance-sheet

John, thank you - the threads are confusing ... I don't think I made 13 in 3 minutes but maybe that is when they appeared.  My frustration has been that Adobe has in the past removed information.  That said it could be a volume issue.  Regardless, it was not my intention to spam but to deal with the issue that Adobe seems to have, i.e.,  they believe only 30 people wish Lighroom to support HEIC.  I don't think that is accurate.  Also, I can't find the place to "vote" on this issue via the link they send...trying to find that for 15 minutes...gave up
