Moments ago Jeff Atwood said the following on twitter:
Look, I love rapid new software releases, but the frequency of WordPress releases is just ridiculous.
Which makes me think, how often should you release software updates?
Whats the best release strategy?
I would say in WordPress’ specific case, they conflate ‘security updates’ and ‘functionality updates’. This is bad.
This would be like having to do an in-place reinstall of Windows every time a security bug was found, instead of simply downloading a small patch every week.
WordPress needs to have a security patch mechanism that’s simple, fast, and easy for the security updates. A process that is separate from the normal upgrade flow of new versions.
