It's not "apathy". Many of the enterprise distros are still on the old version, and installing your own, updated version completely invalidates the point of using an enterprise distro.

Make that "distro apathy", then.

Agreed. If a distro doesn't consider a newer, better anti-virus system to be a "security fix" that should be enabled for a stable distribution then...

It seems to me that their commitment to "stability" is part of the security problem, and not a solution to it.
