Yes, this is bogus. Most OS distributions prefer to backport patches rather
than enforce an upgrade on their users. 
Debian's 2.2 release (the last but one, and still recieving updates) has a
fully patched 1.3.9 version in, which is as secure as 1.3.26.
So you're just causing admins extra work for no real reason.
