@Chris Jean I work in a corporate environment and promote the use of WordPress within said environment. Frequent software updates which are not scheduled/expected does nothing to increase their confidence in any software suite, where having a dependable product -- or the fallback of immediate, tremendous support -- is of utmost importance. As I mentioned before, I know that WordPress is well-crafted and all known scenarios are tested; my corporate overlords are not as easily convinced. Hence, why frequent updates are "scary", at least to them.
