I do lots of simulations in order to make sure that everything will work as it should, trying to be as proactive as I can be.
During one of my simulations, I spotted issues that may arise in the immediate future if not all users not update their wallets before they connect to the network. So, I had to do all the required steps to prevent that.
I'm sorry that I'm slow (to some people's measures) but I prefer to take it slow and release something that passed some QA tests, than have it blow in your face while normal usage. Wouldn't you agree?
