Major blow to the concept of software updates today.
Remember when developers would make an effort to bundle all their new features and bugfixes into a single stable build, and test that release thoroughly before sending it to users? We called it "shipping."
Shipping is old-fashioned now, and continuous deployment is in, which is why 5% of any given app is busted this week -- but don't worry, it'll be a different 5% next week.
