His point is nonsense, of course.

Plenty of people update to the new IS at the initial version, usually on
their secondary machine if they are people who do real work on their
computers (that is, email and such may be real work, but not what I
mean). Also, people who rely on specialize third party software are
smart to delay until they know their third party software works. 

But for mot people and most systems, there is no reason to delay. And
most people do not delay. The uptake on 11.0.1 was huge, which is partly
what overwhelmed the CDN. Which was a minor issue that was 1) easily
mitigated and 2) quickly fixed.
