I think the reason people get so negative about this is due to the fact that just like every game update requires a bot update, every game update also brings all of the "game crashing" posts.

If you look through the announcements section (especially now that Hans moved this mornings announcement), you will notice that yes there will be some kind of post in reference to it being ready.
