This is excellent news about the updates. It means our SEO engine plugin (which we use fairly religiously) should just keep working. It only supports two most recent stable versions of WordPress, which is why it was a concern. And not having to SSH into a host to update our plugins is also great. Jason, do you know whether we have access to do some sort of site backup or snapshot (complete with database content) before we do updates, in case of a problem?
