is WordPress cooked? big plugins are losing installs in masses

One of the best things about WordPress.org was being able to ship a fix or a new feature and tell users: "it's live, please update and let me know if that solves it."

With the new 24-hour delay for plugin and theme updates, that feedback loop is gone.
