I think the industry places entirely the wrong emphasis on updating
and patching software. I believe that security related software
should never need patching or updating. If you're exposing software
to the Internet and you know it's such a buggy wad of tripe that it
needs a patch once a month - you're using the wrong software and
you need to re-assess your overall system design.
