No, it just means that awstats needs to be updated by some other means.
If you are not 100% sure you don't need it you could just open the file
and comment out the entry in it. That way it will no longer execute but
you still have it around for reference.

Anybody who tells me I can't use a program because it's not open source, go
suck on rms. I'm not interested. 99% of what I run tends to be open source,
but that's _my_ choice, dammit.
