According to the article, it seems there is a truckload of

yeah if you are using wordpress you should plan on constantly upgrading your sites to the latest version or you will eventually get hacked.

The bigger userbase - the bigger buzz. Upgrades are important.

Solution 1: Go with hosted blog/cms and become prey to their TOS and inability to evolve.

Solution 2: Full Freedom + regular backups and updates.
