> It was something like, mpm-worker no longer supported libapache2-mod-fcgid or some such thing. No stable release distribution ever does this within a release, unless there is a security issue that cannot be fixed any other way. In this case would you prefer to have remained vulnerable? Of course, mistakes can happen, but they would be fixed in a further regression update, or you could have even looked at fixing the bug yourself. Based on the package names you're likely talking about Debian or Ubuntu. In both cases, you could have just downgraded the packages for a quick (albeit temporary) end to your emergency.
