Are you using Nmap or masscan?
Also I'd be interested in what switches and settings you are using.

I’m currently running a scan of the internet and querying NTP versions.

I’ll publish the results of it on Github and mail them in here :)

I suggest you get accustomed to being stunned.

:4.2.0 was EOL'd in June of 2006, and we've fixed about 3,000 issues in
:the codebase since then.

4.2.0 may have been EOL'd in 2006, but it was still shipping as the
default in FreeBSD until 2009.

Out of those 3000 issues, only a tiny fraction are security-related
that would apply to JunOS.  I expect that they backport security and
other fixes as necessary, until some bigger engineering effort and|or
headache calls for a forklift/mass upgrade of things.
