Please consider doing somekind of automation on updates.
I have consistently seen boards that aren't upgraded because it takes an effort and if you forget an upgrade or two - you'll never upgrade because of the effort it takes to apply the updates sequentially.
However much this is an issue of the administrator not doing his job, it will over time mean that mybb will look like it's very vulnurable because there is a certain percentage of boards that never gets patched.
Ideally (I know this isn't an easy job - but it should be done) there would be an 'upgrade to latest' button in the CP which would wget the relevant files and apply each of the patches as required (probably by a script in each patch file).
