v1d vs. v2c: A Split in Server Hosting

This is something that's been bugging me for a while now... I notice that a lot of servers for the game tend to host v1d of the game -- the last pre-
Mega Man 7
expansion version. Is there any particular reason why this is? Granted, it seems like these same servers are also hosting purely vanilla content, but why v1d rather than v2c? Just a personal preference for the most vanilla of the vanilla content? (Exception being bots, apparently.)
Even more remarkable, not one server is hosting any version between these two!
Despite the fact the
Cutstuff
main blog still directs to the v2a download
(
Edit:
No it doesn't.), the common servers up at any given time either host v1d or v2c!
Also, don't even get me started on the rare server hosting v1a. I can't even begin to try and figure that one out.

Because they probably don't know where the latest download is.
Or they're duelists.

Dueling is a possibility, not knowing the correct download is also an option.
It's also possible that they just don't like the MM7 content.
I have to say, CutmanMike worked hard on it, but it's a mixed bag for me.
Seriously though, I'm glad someone brought up duel.
Why is this still an issue after all of this time?

I'm going to say its likely they don't know the DL, if you notice those tend to be Mexican servers, or somewhere else.

I say we fix the link on the .exe to bring you to v2c instead of v2a

That IS a good question, actually. I've spent more than 300 manhours activel testing ways of fixing the glitches and bugs that makes people crash in Duel Mode.
Switcherizer doesn't seem to do the trick at all, and because of the amount of people who don't even duel to begin with, it's a mode you rarely ever see in or outside Mainstream circles.
