This update ruined our Gmail install and one of the posts wrt that got a comment that it makes no sense. Then it took us Three days to identify Plugins.pm as the culprit and then it gets corrected and everything started making sense.
Please do not confuse the issues. That problem had
nothing to do with the update system. It was a bug in the 2.99.0 (beta) release that was actually a very strange issue with Perl (the code should have worked, but didn't).

What's going to stop us from deleting everything from your server?
Gossamer Threads has been around for a very long time (in Internet years), and we aren't going to ruin our reputation by doing such things.

We try our best to test the updates, and most updates
can be uninstalled (obviously not an upgrade). It's hard since there are a lot of different configurations and even plugins can change the behaviour of the program.

For me as a professional, a Stable release going offline within two hours of release doens't sound a good thing to happen.
Again, you're confusing the issues. The Gossamer Links 3.0.0 install package itself is fine and hasn't been changed. That was a bug on the Gossamer Update on our end.
