But the distro are the ones who gave you outdated unsupported software.
Had they provided you with a newer package, you wouldn't have had this
problem.

Are you suggesting that if your distribution had packaged ClamAV 0.96
and your server(s) didn't break, that you would *still* be upset? Just
on principle?

I honestly doubt it for one simple reason: You don't read the
announcement list, nor do you follow their twitter account, nor do you
read sites like LWN, (all of which, among others, had announcements 6
months ago) so you would never have known.
