	I would have thought that that would have been self evident.

	While not every bug has a security impact the just about
	all have a operational impact.  It would be remiss of us
	to recommend anything other than the best version that we
	could.

	Also you can be sure that black hats will be trying to find
	a way to exploit any weakness that we have exposed.

	It also reduces the support load.
