> I don't use software that thinks it knows better than I when I should stop using it. First, it's not software that thinks it knows better. It's whoever maintains that software. Humans. Who read and write the code that makes that software work, and who find problems with the software and fix it. Now, with that out of the way, and the assumption that someone maintaining software should notify you if the version you have has outstanding problems, yes you should still be in control of making the decision to continue using it, or to get a newer version. But you should be OK with software maintainers having thoughts and opinions about whether specific versions are problematic.
