+1 again to one of your posts

Publishing patch information is akin to security briefings, essential

If done right, it might show existing customers out there without a service contract what they are missing out on, although in this case, what flip-flopping they could have got themselves into with a pulled patch

Let's hope vsi stomp on this sort of non-sense going forward
