I have looked at the latest patches to vBulletin and although I have not tried to exploit the possible vulnerabilities, it does seem prudent to make the changes. When vBulletin releases their patched distribution, script kiddies get to work and try to exploit older boards that have not upgraded. Granted most of the script kiddies aren't the brightest, but it only takes one to release an attacking script.
Everything else I agree with you. Your still the man.
