I don't think anyone here is trying to be critical of anyone.  It's
simply discussion and observation.  I, for one, am less concerned
about security issues because (1) I'm a one-person shop and (2) the
machine is isolated and not easily accessible from the Internet (and
if the machine is hacked, I've got bigger worries than a SQL-injection
attack!).  So while I would rather see a more well-defined upgrade
path over immediate security fixes, I also realize that others have
different priorities.  

If anything, discussion like this gives OSS developers a gauge by which
to judge future directions.  

I might just try Chris' recommended sequential upgrade path (I tried
to skip directly to 1.2), and will try to keep detailed notes to share
with others.
