 Replying to [comment:6 celloexpressions]:
 > Now that minor updates are automatically installed for most sites, is
 this still much of an issue? It might be worth skipping the about page,
 but I'm not sure that that's needed anymore since most users won't
 manually update to a minor release anyway.

 This is very true. Most simply won't see this page. As I said two years
 ago, above:
 > there were some arguments made that an in-branch update should behave
 differently than an update that crosses a major version, but nothing came
 of it.

 I guess something came of it. :-D
