- jessaustin 12y agoI haven't used php, but the situation described at that link is codependence. a: "Most of our users don't care about security." b: "OK then they can continue using old broken versions." a: "No, then they won't be secure! Therefore it must be easy to upgrade." b: "How?" a: "By not making the proposed security improvements." This seems like a recipe for losing any users that do care about security, which is not a viable strategy over the long term.
