Most new AdSense features are greeted with cautious optimism to fear and hostility. Despite the AdSense blog, there are mini mysteries that together seem to make publishers jumpy. What is going on inside those black boxes?

For example, what's the deal with those weekend updates? What are they hiding back there? A little more openness would go a long way toward dispelling the fear that one butt paddle is being exchanged for a bigger more efficient butt paddle. It's these numerous little mysteries that together make some people feel suspicious of new updates and improvements to the system.

For some, it doesn't matter what Google does, the checks keep coming same as ever. But according to the feedback on this forum, apparently not for everyone. Are new features another screw put to the publisher? Or do you have such little feedback from Google that you don't know what to think?
