Thanks for your opinion. The report is for Mojang to review.
I am not suggesting that older versions should receive updates.
The issue is that the Launcher does not inform users that a selected version:
is no longer supported
does not include security fixes introduced in later releases
Security vulnerabilities are often discovered after release and patched only in newer versions.
Without a warning, less experienced players may unknowingly use versions that lack important security fixes, especially in multiplayer or modded environments.This is a user awareness / UX issue, not a request to update old versions.
Okay, but I'd really like to ask you to fix this problem because I'm worried about other players.
