I think it's issued by WordPress.org

isn't it?

what is

O, it's acquired into Jetpack already.

Question to all those of you who manage complete WP sites with composer: How do you handle updates? Especially when it comes to security updates? Just manual? Auto-Update patch versions e.g. with a cron on the server? Some external tool? Some mechanism that at least informs you that manual updates are needed?

Can anybody think of a possible use case for nonces for anonymous visitors?

Just stumbled upon this question:

I would always nonce when there's an interaction involved

kk

but in this case, nonces are the least of their worries

people storing counters in post meta makes me want to slap them

Better do what instead?

Yeah, I just wondered about the nonces ;)

@Sven There is no use. That's completely pointless.

@toscho Okay, but what about the linked code snippet?

If there is already a nonce for logged in users one has to skip wp_verify_nonce() for anon users...? Or simply verify both?

just don't use a nonce when everybody is allowed

Well, okay, got that now. Thanks for telling me :)

It appears everything controversial on stack exchange is slowly turning into something I have colleagues for

Trying to remain impartial here is like spinning plates
