 For a live website, an automatic update to a new major WP version with
 potentially breaking changes is unwanted.

 Updates should be first tested in a sandbox or staging environment, to
 confirm there are no conflicts or issues.

 The default setting change in 6.5 (to enable major WP updates) should be
 reverted.  I know it can be changed manually, but the default is entirely
 unsuitable for a live environment.  It's just another unnecessary set-up
 step that can be easily overlooked.

 (Motivation: 6.7 update breaks quite a few things.)
