Hi Tomasz,

I think Platonides meant this as a friendly warning - not because we would be harmed, but because your website might be less secure. Because as I understand it, that is the main issue with outdated software: security issues. You probably don't want to be confronted with those in the middle of the contest. 

Best,
Lodewijk

Well - what's the problem that we are using older version of WordPress
or MediaWiki? Does it harm anyone?
