Homebrew is a great solution for people like you and me, but for most Mac customers Apple hasn't been forthcoming about how outdated and vulnerable many system components are, any more than they've let the 19% of Mac users still depending on Snow Leopard know that they're not getting any more critical security updates at all.

For a company whose marketing message frequently devolves into random jabs against other systems' security (often unfounded), I'm surprised Cook has let the situation with their own products continue in this cavalier way so long. I had always seen Cook as the cool-headed long-term thinker....
