It may not be the current version, but it still opens the vast majority of pdf files currently being published, and if it’s vulnerability profile is reduced compared to versions 7 through 9 then there is no reason not to consider using it as an alternative to the (apparently) more vulnerable versions.

I have tested win98/Acrobat 6.0.2 against some of the proof of concept examples that are available and have not found them to function as designed.
