Yes, the announcment really surpised me. What surprised me was who was affected. I was advised 20 years ago not to use PHP because the security was poor. I don't think it was ever good. I didn't think anyone did anything serious with it. I guess Finland didn't get the memo :)
I won't touch it, and I'm not doing anything even remotely serious. Who needs the headache?
