Why is the x-powered-by header so common in the PHP world? I feel like exposing this is a security breach, because it allows people to focus their search in the CVE database. This is especially true as software ages and devs don't keep up with upgrades.
Like "hey, I run PHP 5.3, I thought you'd like to know how outdated and vulnerable I am".
