Just a heads up that the YC blog spits out far more data than it should when it errors out. I received a 503 and encountered this:

    Service Temporarily Unavailable

    The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

    Additionally, a 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Is this really problematic from a security perspective? Presumably anyone malicious is already running a script-kiddie package that is actively probing for vulnerabilities, so would it even help such an actor to know what library versions you're using?
