Yes, I upgraded php5, python didn't need an upgrade, perl is going to be upgraded... It is not like that I'm asking to create a security team and do code audits... All I ask for is to go to here[1] and update software in time. It is not like we need to update stuff every day... if we as a community can't do something as simple as that people should use stuff from people that can do that.
