[TYPO3-english] Provider forces customers to update their software

[Robert Wildling]

Hi,

I'd like to know your opinion about that:

The Swiss provider hosttech.ch recently sent out an email telling their 
customers to update to newer software or get the current installation 
deleted because of too old and too insecure scripts that potentially 
endager the whole eco system of hosttech. So customers who are running 
e.g TYPO3 4.2 are forced to update to 4.5. Hosttech further says that 
this is a step that many providers undertake. Yet I do not find any 
other providers that act accordingly.

Does anybody of you guys out there know about providers that act similarly?

What do you think about such steps?
