"issues"

That is being far too polite for what in all likelihood is the most insecure piece of software in history. Not joking. The frequency of security updates over the last decade is a disgrace. And that is without even talking about the appalling state of affairs on the Mac platform where it is still ridiculously buggy. I mean why has it taken this long to be self-updating ?

Would you have preferred they only released security updates once a year?


I'm guessing he would have preferred it if Flash didn't have more bugs than an entomology lab.


It's important that rapid, even numerous, security updates are never seen as a bad thing, because that would provide incentive to choose the obvious alternative for the sake of appearance, despite the actual reduction in security.


I completely agree with you. However, the updates are the symptom, and the OP was remarking upon the disease.


I merely intended to point out that if he intends to remark upon the disease, he should do so.


Ah, then I find that a wise and valid admonition.
