In reply to Sam Hotchkiss.

there was a security bug in a code that probably no one cared to security audit it in 4 years and yet "was another demonstration of how seriously we take that responsibility".

The way jetpack is built is non secure by design, too many not related features crammed together which make it hard to test and to audit. Now you forced upgrades on people that don't use the relevant feature at all, and maybe have a good reason not to want to upgrade.

Gone to see the plugin stats. you require wp 4.4 which means that about 45% of wordpress users just can't upgrade to your 4.0.3. Currently only 35% use your 4.0 line so what about the rest, how and were will they get the fix for this security problem?
