@MastodonEngineering While I realize the U.S. isn't the entire world, the decision to release this information and update on a major U.S. holiday when many administrators may not be in a position to act promptly seems somewhat problematic.

@lauren @MastodonEngineering I suspect they think Mastodon is mostly run by amateurs, who have more time for admin on a bank holiday than on a workday? Either that, or they're German and forgot about UK General Election day (sorry).

@cstross @MastodonEngineering There are amateurs with families who like, go out all day and do stuff on July 4. Please inform the Germans. Thank you.

You did a great job providing a security patch as soon as possible. I don’t get it that you guys get now issues. Why the hell should someone artificially delay a release of a critical security patch at all. I would always prefer having a patch available as soon as possible vs. keep people unnecessarily vulnerable. Not deciding to installing a patch because of ${reason} should be up to the operator and this shouldn‘t be the problem of the people working their asses off providing good software. Keep up the great work.
