Jep I agree. But notice that this is a _big_ security risk because the cracker knows which distribution you're running and can use distribution specific security holes (e.g. unpatched security holes or security holes in old software).
I like to second that, since a line like "Apache (latest version)" reads for a potential hacker like "I know my business, I'm uptodate". From a psychological point of view this is a good argument. The other way around, "Archlinux (known as the most secure Distro ever)" would have a similar effect. We work on it...
