I think this is totally unacceptable.

You are entitled to your opinion of course, but the fact is its perfectly normal and acceptable not to patch old versions of software. The current version of vB3 is 3.8.8, however, it was decided to patch 3.8.7 as well, because that is the maximum version people with old vB3 licences [only] could access. Anyone with a vB4 or vB5 licence can access any vB3 version.

In the case of the modcp update, that global.php file hasnt really changed much across all versions of 3.8.x (and indeed, 3.7.x and 3.6.x). You could almost certainly plug the 3.8.7 version into any of them ok.
