Some additional wording that 5.2.4+ etc could then still be there. Any ideas on how to improve this, and get people asking their hosts about more recent versions than this? To put this into perspective for folks from the US, the current letter essentially asks a host if they have any servers (or server images) that haven't been updated since Bush was in office in 2007.",enhancement,closed,normal,,General,fixed,dev-feedback,
