Apple released patches for much more old cars in the past, if the problem is quite bad. There is a chance that Apple will provide a patch with the latest Airport Express and Extreme Airport, petitions or not.
, unfortunately, we do not expect a patch.

There are no accessible numbers to assume how many active routers at the airport, but this is probably not a small number. Nevertheless, Apple may not consider it a sufficient problem to solve it over time and labor costs.
extreme and the airport time capsule is still useful even without updates
Apple Airport Express, EXTREME and Time Capsule, especially the latest models, not Quite dinosaurs. Airport Express-Wi-Fi 4, but it is also the only one with the AirPlay Audio Bridge function. And yet it works very well.
Airport Express can be old, but they have several Ethernet ports, a USB port to attach storage or printer, and can reach a speed of 500 megabits per second. This is still faster than the average connection of the US Internet.
The time capsule still exists as one of the best options for using as a backup system. Apple does not offer the first alternative to this or the AirPlay Bridge function.
So, the applicant has a point of view. Too insecurity of these products, in order to use these products, can lead to the fact that many people either turned off and unfold these absolutely good devices, or leave people who do not know people vulnerable to attack.
Perhaps this is another argument, why Apple needs to return to the business router. There are simply no other similar products that can fit into the Apple ecosystem so good.
Nevertheless, in addition to the ecosystem, exclusive functions, such as the time capsule and the AirPlay bridge, if you use the airport devices as a simple router, it may be time to finally update. It is simply irresponsible that your Internet mage be built on a product that no longer receives security updates.
When we discovered it, the petition has 32 confirmed signatures of the starting target 50. It is aimed at Apple and the General Director of Tim Cook as persons who make a decision on this issue.
