   As of upgrading to 2.7.1 (and now to 2.8.2), WPAU doesn't re-instate the index.php. Site gets stuck in maintenance screen.
   After uploading the back-upped index.php, the "you can update" message still shows in admin.
   I ended up upgrading manually on all my sites.
   Does the plugin need an upgrade, too?

   According to the plugin's info page:

   Compatible up to: 2.7.1

   Yep. Thanks for that.
   I should probably just uninstall the WPAU, then?

   Yes. I don't know why it's not okayed for 2.8, but based on your experience, it does seem to have problems.

   Current version of wordpress comes with a built in update facility, so you dont need the plugin anymore.

   A pity, though. The built in facility gave me problems; probably because some files/folders are owned by Apache, which might be a result of the WPAU updates in the past. (guessing)
   And WP doesn't have that nice automatic backup facility that WPAU offers

   Interesting. I upgraded two sites. One upgraded with no glitches.

   On the other one, the network I was on briefly blocked a page from loading, but then it reloaded and seemed to go through the upgrade just fine. But the site was left locked in maintenance mode.

   There is no .maintenance file. I had to manually rename WPAU's temporary index page and then change the backup index back to the index.php. Very disappointing.

   Also disappointing is the lack of backup in the native upgrade.
