Don't get me wrong, I offered to help in several bugs I've reported. It's not
that I don't want to improve. But a recent WP version has other advantages too.
I've been using wordpress in wheezy and there were tons of plugins not supported
and tons of plugins that, although they worked, didn't fix bugs for such
old WP versions. Or even not look at it, just said: "That WP version is not
supported, try to reproduce with a new one".
And it's a shame, but plugins are important in my case :-/. So, if I can always
have an updated WP version, it's really nice.
Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo
