Ok point taken, I don't have the time to check each distribution to see what they do..
Obviously I will just stick to the mirrors that are not upto date and leave the rest of them alone.

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. -Thom
