That's hilarious, it's a major feature I want from a blog and I came to the comments to advocate. It's one of the best things about Drupal, for instance.

I want a frozen codebase that only worries about critical security updates.

In the real world, you will break your site by adding new plugins every few months. The site will break. I get a stable codebase and I sit on it.

Development causes bugs! Milestone releases are what I want.

> In the real world, people need compatibility more than they need whatever cleanup you're able to do by breaking compatibility.

Here's the thing: if you're a user that needs compatibility don't upgrade! (not an option with most blogs) If you're always adding new functionality and plugins to your blog, things will break. If your business needs constant new web technology updates, use a real CMS and fix them when they break. They will break, they always break.
