Do they not even do an incremental update? They just pushed it out to all customers at once?
Security scanning software is the fucking wild west. They explicitly tell you to always be running the latest version at all times despite that being against best practices, so if the latest update has a bug you're fucked until they push a fix rather than just rolling back like you would anything else.
I work at another big company. We generally expect customers to never adopt version X.0. Lots of our customers are at least 2 years behind our major update (we do push small patches backwards). Our workload would be insane if everyone was on the same newest version, because we'd be panicking constantly.
