I think it's nice to have the choice. And maybe some users run firewalls, or 
other servers where there are no local users. (I know I'd still upgrade the 
local stuff too, but...) Or maybe they run servers in intranet environments 
where they don't need to upgrade because of the chance of a DoS on Apache.

It's all about choice.
