Matt/Jay,
Would it possible for you to add an OS X Update News and iOS Update News sticky topics to the board that pertain to the status of when the DEVELOPERS feel it is safe to update. No user posts, just Matt/Jay based on their experience and user input.
This would allow us an easy place to check status, instead of hunting for the info.
I realize that there are many user posts scattered around that give there own personal status of how an update is performing, (or not performing), and although this is very helpful, I don't consider something "blessed" until I hear it from the developers.
As much as I'm REALLY getting tired of the constant update messages that you can't shut off, having HA features that don't work or need hours of bandaid fixes would be much worse.
