[pca] OT: timing of Sun patch releases?

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Hi,

This is addressed more to Don O'Malley than anybody else on
the list, but I'm sure others are curious.  The question is:
"What is Sun's timetable for releasing patches?".  When a
patch is ready?  On a schedule, like Microsoft's patch Tuesday?
How about the release of kernel patches?

I've noticed that patches seem to come in unpredictable waves;
generally a new wave hits the day after I've done rebootable
patches during scheduled downtime.  I'm wondering what the Sun
philosophy is here...
