"the fact that Yoast’s updates often cause issues with people’s installs makes people wary of getting a forced update for one of his plugins"

Do you have data to support this assertion, or rather, what appears to be an implicit criticism? I'm curious because it might be that updating a plugin with 1+ million active installs is bound to run into issues on some installs. Or it might be that their QA is poor. It would be nice to know which it is.
