 > Isn't it annoying the fact that WordPress sends an automatic email every
 time a new version has been auto-updated or a plugin is in automatic
 update mode and updates? Users don't really have an option to disable
 either of these two things, and it's clearly a front-line feature that
 feels like a take it or leave it.

 The WP hardening guide (https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-
 administration/security/hardening/) is incompatible with automatic
 updates, so we have them off. We then use an update notification plugin
 where the sender address, message frequency, etc. are configurable.


 > The problem is that the bureaucrats of these Core sections, have the
 power to hinder these proposals, but they can't hinder other areas like AI
 because those guys have much more power in this project than them, so they
 have to bow their heads and accept the new changes with unease. It's like
 a game of thrones. ;)

 Nothing new in the land of web development. Everything is terrible, and by
 the time enough people realize it, there's a new group of 19-year-olds in
 charge who think that everything learned before 2025 could not possibly
 still have relevance. I gave up and got a math degree. I'm only here
 because my dayjob pays me to undo these asinine decisions.

 Personally I would leave it open so that there is a place to send the
 inevitable duplicates, but I don't really care anymore.
