Is running upgrade site option more secure than not running it? (3 posts)

    Stupid question, perhaps, but when it comes to security releases, is it better to try and upgrade every blog or wait till the user next logs in? Or in other words, are idle blogs a security risk?

    The security issues are typically with php code, so when you update the core code the security fixes are there. The update script generally just goes through and makes sure the blog's db tables match the changes.
