What if this DNS name stops responding (and be propagated to

current.cvd1.clamav.net if
you dislike the first) start working? Clamav's 0.96 could issue
requests to
that brand new name to get updates, while old clamav installations -
which
are unaware of it- would simply fail updating.
So instead of breaking only the really old clamav installs, you've
broken
ALL the non-0.96 installs? Why break the 0.95 installs as well?
It is not something to do know, but instead something that could
have been
done introducing 0.96...
Did you read all the post? You didn't, right?
And again, if the old versions keep running, but don't get updates,
it
is
a dis-service to those who think they are being protected but are
not.
Most of them know exactly their AV is not up-to-date. Nevertheless,
their
mail server works and only have to be careful opening new mail.
Can they prefer to take some risk and not pay someone to update their
systems?

And if the server owners / sysadmins feel that sending mail is more
IMPORTANT than sending clean mail, they do not not need to install any
AV software and their mail system will happily send out all it's
mail....
