>It is especially ridiculous in the context of industry where not upgrading is seen as irresponsible. Upgrading without due diligence, and without reason is as irresponsible an not upgrading when the need to becomes manifest. Running "unsafe" versions of software in conditions where their unsafe nature is not open to exploitation is a completely legitmate action. If you upgrade just because there's a later version available, you're rolling the dice as needlessly as the fellow that'll get around to it once he has time to read the code. Note: I'm aware of, and also cherish the no warranties explicit or implied clause. However, In real life, where social relationships do matter, I don't see this escape clause standing the test of time as society catches up the technology.
