Given Exim is no longer a default install on many distros, I was surprised to find that Exim constitutes 53% of the mail servers on the internet. The numbers are a little skewed given some banners didn't report their mail server, but it's still impressive.

I think your assertion, that many Exim installations are out-of-date, is
probably wrong.
I run Centos (a Red Hat derivative) versions 5 and 6. The Exim for:-
Centos 5.11 is 4.63
Centos 6.7 is 4.72
Whilst these versions are not the latest, they are for security and bug
purposes certainly "up-to-date" because the Epel Repository
retrospectively patch these versions.
"Latest" and "up-to-date" do not always share the identical meaning :-)
