Quoting Stephen Gran <st...@lobefin.net>:

Faced with an old release of software that will die if the team uses
new functionality due to a known bug, and people who will not upgrade
to the version that fixes this bug, and a reasonably urgent need to use
the new functionality, what exactly would you have done differently?

They have already answered this.  They would force sourcefire/clamav
to spend lots of time, money, and effort to setup a parallel signature
system; one for older versions, one for newer systems.  They seem to
have no qualm with the idea of making sourcefire/clamav pay this price
so they can use the results free of charge...

The biggest problem with this suggestion is that it came after the fact,
so it isn't a useful suggestion.  No one bothered to offer this advice
before the change was made.
