4.4 - Bots Galore Again on Online Users List

[jucs]

Something has changed in 4.4 where bots are now showing up in the online users list AGAIN.  Prior versions removed bots somehow from showing up.

Now, this latest version has them as part of the online users list which makes zero sense. Was this a change made on purpose?  Are others seeing the same?  

Makes ZERO sense to list a bot as an online user.

We did push out a patch with the full release of 4.4.0 that included some minor changes related to this (if it's applicable to your community, you can apply it via the Support page, selecting 'something isn't working').

Just to clarify, should the patch be applied even if nothing appears broken ?

That's up to you, the majority of the issues fixed in the patch were related to upgrade issues that we wanted to get fixes out there for. Anything in the patch will also be included in the next full release.
