Because advising someone to run with known vulnerabilities
is conducive to maintaining the integrity of critical
systems?
I've been seeing this mentality a lot recently, and while
in some corner-cases it does make sense, for the majority
of users it does not and leaves them open to pain and suffering
in the future.
Update once in a while after testing in a properly configured
test environment and you will, in the long run, be much happier.
