5.12.4 is perfect, you're just sad you don't get the lastest firmware number.

I don't believe he is a kindle user, so he is objecting on the principle that Amazon released an update that caused bugs for some users on the PW3, but then pulled the firmware update, leaving some with less stable devices through no fault of the customer. That's not cool of a vendor of any product to do. Hopefully Amazon is working on a release that fixes issues if enough people are reporting them.
As to bugs, some are reporting slow down and freezing, battery drain, or other weird quirks.
Here is just one place in the comments where people post software issues they're having with PW3, 4, or Oasis - some due to the update, some not. It seems people don't mention it on this particular forum much, but if you go to other sources some are reporting issues. I haven't been using my PW3 for awhile but believe - if memory serves me correctly - it *may* have updated. I hope not since it's removed and I don't need more bugs. I'll have to check later, not near it right now.
As to myself, I've been having bugs for about a year with my e-readers, so I get the point of the article title, Are Kindles becoming more prone to software issues? Yes, I know not everyone has problems, and good for them, but I've been frustrated for awhile now by all this.
