(I mean, I'm not overjoyed at the deprecation of FTP support because I used it just yesterday, but let's at least be honest here. The protocol might be decades old but the implementations aren't necessarily, and if they're being actively maintained there's always the possibility of introducing new bugs.)

- bartread 7y ago> That's not the "stable protocol that's been around for decades" situation that FTP is in. That is literally the point I was making when I said, "if they're being actively maintained there's always the possibility of introducing new bugs." Moreover, just because a library had its last fix a decade (or whatever) ago is no guarantee that unfixed bugs do not lie undiscovered in it.
