If you're lucky enough to install well-written (or self-written) plugins which withstand major version updates, you can set `WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE` to `true` in your wp-config and it will auto-update to any latest version. There's a

I hope they open up all their APIs, then lean on the phone duopoly (iOS and Android) to do the same, enabling cross-OS handoff. Maybe even throw in some accusations of monopoly/duopoly abuse to ironically expedite the features along.

You're often opening up yourself to a LOT of bad exposure, where you'll be accused of hacking the software (along with the 20+ jail term this might eventually entail) and just generally putting the spotlight on yourself as a poten
