Given that the DNN version is Alpha code, I would not expect this to impact anyone.
That last part is funny :)
It's amazing what some people will actually do to their websites! It is most definitely alpha code and not recommended for production use, but someone most definitely will :D
I found your comment even more funny...
Some people are force to do upgrades to fix bugs... for example 5.4.2 add some bugs that made me upgrade a production site to 5.4.4 (i did pass to 5.4.3, but I just rolled back to my backup since it was worst) but only a week later we find that 5.4.4 cause serious problems with Data Springs Dynamic Registration Module, so I have this site ... I need to upgrade to 5.5... because I've tested it and it works...
So what would you do? :)
Ofc its an alpha but that does not mean some people will not use it some are actually FORCED to do it.
Whats important is how you do it... I have tested 5.5 on a local machine and it worked, so I'm backup the live site try it there and test all modules, I noticed that the Events module actually does not work... so I could always go back to the restore point!
And thank you Roger for providing this update so quick, I hope the sable version is out soon but the latest RC was simply working great and MUCH MUCH better than the previous stable versions... that's funny too :P
Don't take this personal Chis, but I think your comment is very poor, every site is a different scenario, and some RC or Alpha versions simply have less bugs than a stable version!
That's why some people upgrade :)
Now I do know some people just do it without backing up things and just can't get back to where they were... that's ofc not a smart idea, or some just upgrade without needing too, also not a good idea!!!
