As an interim solution, you can get pseudo-whitelist functionality by only opening your firewall to specific IP addresses. Most ISPs will generally assign a user the same IP address even if it comes from a dynamic pool. This is a lot of work but you might find it preferable to running your server open or shutting it down while waiting for fixes.

Bandwidth used with SSH only: 1Kbps
Bandwidth used with SSH and one player connected to Minecraft: 70Kbps
I'm going to compare this to some other games later.

But larger biomes need to go hand-in-hand with movable spawn points, working nether portals and working mine carts in SMP.

Your outlook is really, excessively bleak. I don't think the bug fixes will break the game to the extent of your predictions.
The only thing "alpha" about Minecraft is the name, Notch is accepting money in exchange for the game and releasing updates directly to the public. This is not an alpha test or even a beta test.

That said, I wouldn't leave a laptop I wanted to keep using on 24/7 unattended doing anything. This probably stems from the sheer number of failed laptops I've had to replace the CPU fan on.

This morning, the farm is gone. The plot where i built it is in the same state it was before construction.
But, in my inventory I still have the many stacks of wheat I harvested!
I even restored an hourly backup from last night, no farm.

We ought to be more grateful? Notch is the millionaire here.
I support Notch, I think he's doing very well for someone trying to found a business (I have been there). He is developing a great and innovative game essentially by himself. I expect even greater accomplishments once he has his team moved into the office.
But, Minecraft is not an alpha test, it has not been since it has been exchanged for money. Legal obligation or not Notch has a moral obligation to update the game to the best of his ability and perform a basic level of QA on his updates. I'm sure there are any number of players and server administrators who would jump at the opportunity test patches prior to release and provide basic feedback identifying obvious bugs.
Today for example would have gone something like this:
08:00 Notch e-mails updated minecraft.jar and minecraft_server.jar to a few dozen selected players.
08:10 A few swift players immediately point out that the update corrupts saves and any player logging in crashes the server.
09:00 Notch e-mails fixed versions for further testing.
09:10 Players note that mob positioning feels laggy, there is some inconsistency in the application of damage, armor is invisible and sheep don't update their graphic when they lose wool.
09:30 Notch decides these bugs are acceptable for a public release and releases the update.
This would have been leagues ahead of corrupting unknown numbers of save files of players who updated their software in good faith.

I have entries like this for the people who play on my server:
This would get wildly impractical if you have a lot of players with dynamic addresses to keep track of, but for a few friends not too bad.
Or of course use a whitelist server wrapper when they're updated.

At that point it's easier to delete your player file and admin-add your items back.
