Everyone should upgrade to current.  So many CVEs have been patched in the past 
couple of major versions.  We’ve shut off older versions as it’s costing a 
fortune for us to keep feeding older versions of ClamAV, which download the 
daily.cvd in its entirety, once a second.  (So many people do this!  Stop!)

So, to show you how bad the problem is, last month, we transferred 9PB of 
traffic from our infrastructure just in updates.  We’ve gotta cut that down.  
Besides, this is security software, you should upgrade it.

There are reasons we can’t cut off .100 and .101 yet, but as soon as we can, 
we’ll be shutting those off as well.  So everyone, please upgrade.
