I dont know in which world you live ... but in the REAL world i
live, not all systems are managed by proactive admins. In fact, in
the REAL world, LOTS of systems are just left alone running. And it
works most of the time, despite of all the theorical and practical
considerations against it. I know that isn't right, that isn't
secure, that's not the optimal situation ..... but thats the REAL
situation.
Well chalk this up to one of the times that did not fit into "And it
works most of the time"
Had they not sent the kill signature, your installation would still
have failed in May when the unsupported signatures are released. They
just forced the failure a little sooner...
despite of all the warnings, the EOL signature was a bad move in
my opinion.
