Yeap, recently tweeted on this topic. The update is useless in general for average users.

I wonder why people make posts about every WP update? :) ) Is traffic worth it?

I think I can do away without this update considering that I don’t let my guest blogger’s take control of their login credentials until I build enough trust on them!

Odd for wordpress to shove an update out like that but I guess it was that serious.

Glad its fixed though.
