Upgrade speed

2.8.4 has been out for about a month. If you haven't upgraded by now, you're asking for it. My upgrade window for security updates is 24 hours. Easy for us geeks to say, but most end users don't know or care what version they're on - they leave this kind of thing to their admins (if they have them) or just shine it on.

As an admin, I check out all WP installations via subversion, and keep them all in an array in a shell script. I can upgrade 125 WP installations in 5 minutes flat (and only 15 seconds of that time is me with hands on keyboard). If you manage a lot of WP installs, I really recommend this approach. Here are the scripts I use to do this:
