Hear hear, about going the way of Microsoft (whoever is in charge, that is). Making decisions for users, aiming at the clueless masses and at steering them in a direction desired by some higher ups, leaving the rest behind, eventually with a more or less angry quip about the "vocal minority".

I'm staying at 4.5, and hope it'll keep getting security updates for a good long time (though the fact that you're not notified of minor updates available for your specific version (auto is off, obviously!) and only of the latest version released is always a bit of a bother).

About the issue presented in the post regarding background images though, isn't that how a background image is supposed to behave, being as large as the area it's a background of?
