 * Cured.
    As Matt stated in the Dev Blog post, there _was_ a vulnerability, and
   now there is not.

 * There are [still people](http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2005/05/10/wordpress-151-and-security-issues/)
   who would like to assess for themselves how vulnerable they are without the upgrade.
   I have four wordpress installs and would really like to know whether it is necessary
   for me to set aside a day to upgrade them all immediately or whether I can wait
   until I have a gap in my schedule. I can’t be the only one in this situation.
 * (And yes, I know the upgrade is very quick and painless, but I’m on dial-up at
   the moment and it takes forever to FTP all the files.)
