Well, at least here in Taiwan people get a pool of public IP addresses and
everything behind the main switch of a flat has a public address.

Yes, I upgraded php5, python didn't need an upgrade, perl is going to be
upgraded... It is not like that I'm asking to create a security team and do
code audits... All I ask for is to go to here[1] and update software in time.
It is not like we need to update stuff every day... if we as a community can't
do something as simple as that people should use stuff from people that can do
that.
