[pca] [Fwd: Unbundled patches showing up when listing missing security patches]

For some reason the list management software sent me this message as a 
bounce, without actually sending it out to the list. So I'm forwarding 
it here:

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, could just be an aggravating
patchdiag.xref issue. I was running pca using "-l missingrs" as my 
options and got a listing of some patches that were labeled security but 
not recommended. After looking them up in patchdiag.xref, saw they were 
listed as unbundled patches.

My question is, should I get a return of an unbundled patch if I didn't
specify listing the unbundled patch group, or is it just the case that 
since it is marked security, using "missingrs" as an option supercedes 
it. Is there a way to filter out the unbundled patches in this 
particular case without making an ignore rule for each one?
