There is also a interesting point regarding software repository support. I have a server running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server which is supposed to be supported till April 2011, however Wordpress is in the Universe repository and not updated since November 2008 and is vulnerable to a few attacks that delete content.
If these packages are not going to be updated should there not be at least a warning, or method to bar such packages from being installed after security issues have been raised?
Wordpress 2.3.3 in 8.04 LTS Universe repository.
