It's nice that you're personally motivated to update zsh completions, but it would mean more to me if you had the same care and concern for the rotting bash completions, which is what *I* care about, since bash is the shell I know and use. (That, however, is not a current priority for me, so it goes onto the endless TODO list.)
This shows me that you're asking for zsh completions because you're enthusiastic about zsh on a personal level, not because there's a fundamental goal that the project needs to have up to date completions. :(
And to respond to this explicitly, no, this is false. I care a out the integrity of the specific parts and not to purely suite the variant I by accident use as well. Fixing bash completions is still on my list as well and once it's up to date it should also be aimed to fix up on changes. The truth is as simple as bash completions being a total mess (at least the one we have in the repo) compared to the zsh completion we have there so within the time frame I prioritized bringing the zsh variant back to shape was way easier even through I have way less zsh specific knowledge compared to having bash related knowledge. Once bash is in tact as well I have the very exact same feelings about its integrity as I do right now for zsh, purely to sustain integrity in the projects components itself from a maintainer view rather than *any* personal choice or preference, because my personal preference doesn't matter when having the maintainer hat on.
