As anyone who comments on here or other WordPress based sites knows that I am blunt and brutally honest.

I DO NOT WANT AUTOMATIC UPGRADES.

This feels like Matt Mullenweg wants to tell me when I can wipe my rear end.
Sometimes it is not necessary to wipe my rear end.

SORRY FOR THE GRAPHICAL EXPLANATION.

Each of us have different plugins and themes. Many of them have different customization.

Sometimes when you upgrade coreWP then it will conflict with your theme and/or plugins.
Sometimes when you upgrade a theme/plugin..........you get it right?

I had instances where some plugins didn't get along with WordPress Mobile Pack.

One of the upgrades last year REALLY screwed up a client's site when I updated. I had to add a maintenance plugin and turn it on. Client calls me and is yelling at me so loud I can hear him from the phone 3 rooms over.

I would say 40% of sites I manage (own/clients) that I do not upgrade right away due to customizations.

Again I am blunt and brutally honest.
