Versionitis is a terrible disease. On the contrary, it is very understandable
that some people fled to other distros due to security bugs.
Let's take pidgin as packaged in Trisquel in its current state. As the mate
Trinux pointed out in the Spanish forum, it is affected by those bugs:
CVE-2016-2365, CVE-2016-2366, CVE-2016-2367, CVE-2016-2368, CVE-2016-2369,
CVE-2016-2370, CVE-2016-2371, CVE-2016-2372, CVE-2016-2373, CVE-2016-2374,
CVE-2016-2375, CVE-2016-2376, CVE-2016-2377, CVE-2016-2378, CVE-2016-2380,
CVE-2016-4323, CVE-2017-2640.
Not cool :/
