Over the weekend, Apple pushed an update to a kernel extension exclusion list that broke ethernet for thousands of users. There was no notification of this update, it simply got pushed and installed, suddenly ethernet broke - as in, not even visible to the system because the ethernet driver (kext) was disallowed from loading.
So... yeah it's a mistake, annoying. But we're in some sense expecting much more privacy, security, reliability of our mobile devices than our desktop systems. And I think that's an interesting shift in expectations.
