There is such thing as too many upgrades at one point. I rather have less frequent upgrades that are very well tested than having an upgrade everytime I change my boxers.

There are many tech directors like me who admin MANY websites. I admin a lot of sites for non-profit/community groups, and I have to be very careful on changes (upgrade = change).

These many upgrades can also be turned to a lack of checking out vulnerabilities...like when 2.8.0 came out, then when .1/2/3/4 comes out, then all these "small" fixes get added, why were they not checked over when the main big brother (2.8.0) came out? I am sure Matt and others check for bugs but they missed at least 4 (I will give them the benefit of thinking that .1-.4 each fixed ONE bug). If I see 2.8.5 come out anytime between now and Sep 1 (my birthday) then I will be loosing some trust on the safety/security checks on WordPress.
