composer install wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin -> "does not match your minimum-stability"

I have now changed to dev as minimum stability so I can do the installation.
Can this cause problems in coming installations when using Composer?

Changing your projects minimum-stability to dev is a workaround at best I think. Running a production site with minimum-stability anything less than stable is asking for trouble IMO.

Personally I would rather install the needed JS libraries using: drush dl-cycle-lib

Somehow that option has disappeared from the documentation, addressing that in https://www.drupal.org/project/views_slideshow/issues/3405728 🐛 Updating documentation Needs work

Don't know if we truly need dev versions of the JS libraries, that is a question better suited to the maintainers or other JS/library experts. But requiring those is a problem with composer.

This is not an issue of this module.
It is requiring some package which is not in fully stable version.

When working on a project, we encounter many such packages which have dev stability version.

So we have no option but to set "dev" stability version.

Closing this ticket as this is not module related.
