In reply to Rod Olman.

You have one side where people complain about WP being insecure and outdated. Then you have the other side where when WP makes any sort of move, even when they plan it months/years in advance - it falls on deaf ears.

You can't tell me with a straight face that the internet and internet browsing has remained the same in the past 5 years. There's so much behind the scenes that has evolved.

If you want a site that doesn't change for a decade, tell your clients to stick with vanilla HTML circa 2009 that supports Internet Explore 9. The rest of the internet wants to move on. And we're going to move on without them.
