@types/react-native for react-native 0.59.x

Question

I'm using react-native 0.59.9 (can't yet upgrade to 0.60.x because of external blockers).

But the @types/react-native only provides type-definitions up to 0.57.65 (as listed in npm). From then on the versions jump straight to 0.60.x. The first line in index.d.ts also tells me that the types in @types/react-native 0.57.65 only support the 0.57 version:

// Type definitions for react-native 0.57

I have actually been using @types/react-native 0.57.65 without problems so far with the react-native 0.59. But now that I'm having some problems, I'm starting to wonder whether this combination is even supposed to work.

Questions I'm pondering:

• Why are there no 0.58 and 0.59 releases of @types/react-native?
• Should I expect problems when using react-native 0.59 with types for 0.57?
• Is there a way around this besides upgrading to 0.60?
