 > This is true, however, as long as we continue to push out security
 updates for older versions of WordPress (back to 3.7), this is really not
 much of an issue. Just because they can't update WordPress doesn't mean
 that they won't receive automatic security updates. (Unless they are
 running a version before 3.7, in which case they are already insecure.)

 That's a good point, but it also is part of the problem with updating the
 version at all. It makes backporting security fixes that much harder.
