This really needs to be addressed.

I also updated to .09 within hours and then overnight in between .09 and .10 being released my MN went offline somehow and I must have fallen outside of the 71 minute timer so am out of the payment cycle (which perhaps all of us are anyway given enforcement has been switched off).

I know Evan and the dev team are working very hard and, like many here, I really do appreciate it but think it's imperative the payment processing and fairness of distribution amongst MNs is better managed during updates like this. That there are no hard and fast processes to take MNs out of the network that are on old versions and that many of these same MNs owners are getting paid where people who've been diligent in updating quickly aren't, isn't a workable situation (and MN owners will naturally start delaying updating if they're consistently loosing payments). It's also concerning that enforcement gets turned on and off so easily. Surely this just should be a stock standard part of the MN protocol that's not so centralised? (I know we're still in 'beta' effectively but can't we just leave enforcement on and live with whatever consequences of that as a lesser evil than manually switching it all the time? Forgive me if my comments indicate I'm not understanding this at all).
