Greetings all, I would like to start a conversation about the subtle difference between update_attribute and update_attributes, namely that update_attribute skips validations and update_attributes does not skip validations.
I know this has been around for a while but is Rails 4 the time to make them both respect validations? I am willing to do the work if the core team feels like it would be a worthwhile breaking change. I don't have a ton of context on the history but as I talk to more and more beginners (and advanced) Rails folks, that subtle difference does trip people up.
