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.
