I had already wondered as very few Solaris 10 patches have been released 
recently. Obviously yesterday was September's "the Monday closest to 
17th of each month" (what a specification, impossible to specify that in 
a calendar app), as a bunch of new Solaris 10 patches was released.

I don't see any advantage in "... enables customers to predict patch 
release dates and schedule maintenance windows" - personally I'd prefer 
to get (security) fixes ASAP. Plus, I could always decide on my own when 
to install patches anyway.
