RE: [PATCH-RFC] README 1ST - New problem logging macros (2.5.38)

[Randal, Phil]

That's a moot point.

You'll have to ask RedHat et al why they persist in backporting
security patches to "old" releases of Apache (etc) instead of
releasing the new versions.  The effect is the same, with
vulnerabilities being squashed, but the version numbers reported
suggesting otherwise.
