Rajiv,

> I kind of disagree on using CPU for couple of reasons.

Maybe you got me wrong - it's not that I use the CPU myself - I agree with what 
you say. Personally, I don't see much sense in installing an outdated revision 
of a patch. Why not get *all* available fixes, when I'm installing a patch 
anyway? If possible, I always install all missing patches.

I do understand the reasoning behind the CPU and why people use it, though - 
it's what fixes all security issues with the least possible amount of changes to 
the system.

Martin.
