You're putting everyone who you've talked to at risk. I don't know about you, but I prefer not having to worry about whether I'm communicating with someone whose installation can easily be pwned by any halfway incompetent attacker.

If you don't want to update, that's fine. But your preference for not updating doesn't get to override my preference for secure communication.
