But that doesn't matter one bit. If there is *a door* exploits will be 
run against it - simply because a lot of them are automated and it's 
quick and easy to do so.

If the exploit software exploits software X and the exploit mechanism 
finds out that software X is on the system it is looking at then it 
will try the exploit. No matter what version strings say. The script 
kiddies are dumb, but not that dumb.
