Elements to be Implemented in the March 27th Version Update

[Camiie]

Not everything has to be run through the test server (I mean, we didn't even have the test server for the longest time).

True, but these aren't just any changes. These are ones they (and we) need to be sure they're implementing properly. If anything should be tested thoroughly it should be these.

The changes are pretty much entirely based on (or otherwise inline with) suggestions from the community

But not necessarily carried out in ways we asked for or expected.

and Adoulin content was designed with these changes in mind. That aside, they have stated that they're unable to push out new versions within a certain time before release (I don't understand this, WOTG had two preparatory updates to make lives easier, both 3 weeks and 1 week before), and I imagine that applies to the test server as well. These changes have been in development for quite some time, so I imagine they're pretty eager to actually push them out.

No developer can or will test things the way their users can. I think SE has proven this as much or more than anyone. They've often shown a lack of understanding of how we do things and why we do them the way we do. Sorry if I seem insulting, but I just don't trust them not to screw it up.

After their history, you have every reason to be cautious.
