Definitely. Patches are still a mess. No way to buy VSI products 
online, either. One- and two-person shops have routinely established 
that. But VSI has lots of licenses and license complexity. Yeah, and 
whose problem is that to address? Maybe prior to patching the problem 
of PAK profligacy, pick the thousand most common, and configure and 
sell those.  🤷🏼
