Red Hat and Mandrake are cutting support for older versions of their Linux distributions... The results will be a security nightmare for the Internet.

LOL. If people cannot plan an upgrade, maybe they are in a wrong field. Someone so inept to say that upgrading Debian from an old release to a new, well tested one is difficult or a really bad idea should switch to using the Great win2k servers and stop posting FUD.

The point of free software is to allow people a choice. If you want to run Apache 1.0, so be it. You can compile it under a newer distribution and fix all the bugs yourself. If are not willing to do that and can only bitch here, then STFU.
