That seems a bit harsh. Mike makes a good general point about choosing
pro stability. I myself tend to wait things out a day or two. Recently,
for instance, qpopper moved from 4.0.5 to 4.0.6 to 4.0.7, all in a few
days, with the proverbial "Oops! we forgot something!" Naturally, clamav
is not qpopper, but still, it is quite sensible, imho, to wait a day or
two before upgrading major stuff, to avoid these oopses.
Having said that, I just upgraded my 0.83 installation to 0.84 (after
reports on this list over the last few days were favorable). And it was a
breeze. Took a grand total of less than 5 minutes. ;) In that regard, of
course, there is really no valid excuse to still be running 0.80,
methinks.
