Quoting Giampaolo Tomassoni <[email protected]>:

What if this DNS name stops responding (and be propagated to mirrors) and
instead a new current1.cvd.clamav.net (or maybe current.cvd1.clamav.net if
you dislike the first) start working? Clamav's 0.96 could issue requests to
that brand new name to get updates, while old clamav installations -which
are unaware of it- would simply fail updating.

So instead of breaking only the really old clamav installs, you've broken
ALL the non-0.96 installs?  Why break the 0.95 installs as well?

And again, if the old versions keep running, but don't get updates, it is
a dis-service to those who think they are being protected but are not.
