In reply to karelle.

I couldn't agree more. I really didn't pay attention until this issue began creeping into the forums and blogs but it's such an idiotic one size fits all approach that I'm almost speechless. It almost makes me cynically wonder if the "premium" Wordpress (read that as "paid for" version) will eventually show up where all those functions are available... if we all want to pay for them. While on the one hand there are security issues with updates and the need to stay current, all this fixing things that aren't really broken really irritates the heck out of me. (And all my clients who now need tutorial help just to continue using their website.)
