Yeah, trust the developers.  How *could* I have been so stupid?

For the record, yes I upgrade all the time.  I happen to think it's
good practice to get regular patches.  In general, developers don't
push through upgrades that break everything.  I'm surprised (and
annoyed, and angry) that this wasn't the case this time.

Thanks for blaming the victim!
