That's not what I wrote. What I said is that a professional is supposed 
to have some clue about deployment of a newer version of a software. I 
opposed hobbyist because if your local installation or your chess 
community website suffer for half a day, it will not be that bad.

In other words, professionals will not have to react, they should be 
proactive and test their installation before upgrading the live server. 
Are you saying that people using custom extensions will update their 
installation before testing it?

Look at the job made in the bugtracker. Do you really think that 
symlinks are the biggest challenge ahead? I would be more afraid of the 
impact of TV 1.0, rtehtmlarea as default, Index Search 3 and the latest 
CSS Styled Content than symlinks...

Good for them, I live in Québec.  ;)
