I thought about that after I posted :P, (since I used to run a RaQ2),
but decided better safe than sorry as you never know what's around the
corner waiting to bite. If a more secure version of whatever you're
running is available, better to install it than have to explain to a
customer or someone down the road why you didn't. Even if it's not
vulnerable, a customer that learns you're running a version of something
that's been identified as open to hack doesn't want to hear details
about how it's not vulnerable on "my" server.
