Nuget Update-Package incorrectly updating assembly binding redirects
Skip applying binding redirects is an option now in NuGet 3.3.0: Issue #1147
Use following command in Package Manager Console
PM> Get-Project –All | Add-BindingRedirect

I have a better solution. Because I gets absolutely crazy when I have to update over 72 references everytime I update my packages, I've developed a PowerShell script that updates your Web.Config based on the packages in your packages.config and the DLLs you have published in the BIN directory.
