Sure, if you're paying any attention.  There are sites where nobody cares
about the news software, and it's running on autopilot.  The periodic version
summaries always end up turning up software that's at least 5 years old... if
you can't be bothered to upgrade your software to improve performance or fix
bugs, you certainly can't be bothered to upgrade for the significantly more
minor benefit of being 8-bit clean.
