@Jeffro - What I meant the whole wiping is that it is not necessary if I haven't gone to the washroom. I tend to be sleeping at 3am, Matt coming and waking me up and doing it when it isn't necessary.

Automatic upgrading has two bad issues:

1) It can really screw up my install if things aren't compatible with components of my site.
I want to be there when I upgrade

2) You think that those lazy admins will get any better? no, they will continue their lazy way and not upgrade.

As a community we need to be up here to help them out. So many WordPress community members have a stick up their you know what. I remember when I was a newbie. I tried to get some help from a theme author, there was an issue with his theme. He spent 5 paragraphs YELLING AT ME. I changed themes.

There are a lot of people who are afraid to upgrade. I had the issues with the first started the one click upgrade within WP.

Think about it, do you remember ancient times ago when you were first customizing/upgrading? How many mistakes did you make with the WPT theme? some typos maybe? Not all admins who don't upgrade do it out of laziness, they do it out of fear.
