I've sadly started recommending the same thing. It seems like every software company hires new UI designers every year, or the existing ones can't resist the urge to change the interface around every release. I wonder how many of them realize how hard their redesigns are on older folks who just took 6 months to learn where everything is on the previous version? I really wish it was the norm in the software world to offer UI updates and security fixes independently, so we could upgrade the good without having to accept the bad. |

Me too. That used to be standard practice, and I think abandoning it was a disastrous move.
I know that combining the two things like this means that I get security updates less often than is desirable, because I delay all of them until I feel I have enough time and energy to deal with any UI/feature/configuration changes.
