So, ok, I'm a bit irritated after working 30 hrs over the last two days without any notice from WordPress until I received the "email". Granted, WordPress and Drupal have provided a tremendous service by allowing the masses to implement their open source programs. While they have been gracious in providing their development expertise (25% of all websites posted to the internet are WordPress based and over 5% are Drupal = 30%), why do they not have a representable proportion of individuals who are skulking about finding security issues? Since the WordPress initial release of WordPress 2003, there were 46 subsequent releases until 2010. Approximately 6.5 per year over a 7 year period. Since 2010, there have been 28 releases at an average of 7 per year over a FOUR year period. Almost a 50% increase? Yes? If web developers are to continue offering such services to our clients, I'm afraid that we will have to include an "upgrade clause". This is more problematic than what it seems, since many of the plugin developers do not upgrade their plugins appropriately to the current version. I'm very disappointed. What are your suggestions?
