That's not a good reason to neglect a security update. There are folks who
need the update. Not that you're obliged to provide one -- you're doing
voluntary work, afterall. But I'd expect that a package maintainer to
keep the entire userbase in mind. Not just those running particular setups.
It's not as if a Subversion HTTP/HTTPS setup was an unsupported use case.
