phpBB had in the past the same complaints. They solved the issue with an security mailinglist and a version checker. I think that WordPress must do something similar. The found bugs are in the wild. I see alot of attempts on my site and I found a lot of sites which are still vunerable.
Well, I wil not upgrade to 2.2 and then do this every 3 months. I will try to downgrade to version 2.0.x instead. Could someone please update the mentioned page because that one is misleading!
I would like an answer to this question as well :). If 2.1.x (according to this page it is maintained?) is not maintained as I discoverd today, the I will downgrade to 2.0.x because I’m not prepared to upgrade every 3 months or so…
So could someone with authority give an answer to what we can expect? With that everyone can make a decission if to stay or downgrade or to stay with the latest.
