The whole point of a regular patch cycle is that people can plan ahead and install once. But if you are having to install it nine times, where's the benefit of that?

We elected to go ahead and install it now and get it done to comply with the f and r (function and reliability testing) requirements.

Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it.

We plan to go full steam ahead.

There is no plan, at this point there is no concrete proposal that's been presented to the board.

I don't think leaving their customers vulnerable for another 3 months (or perhaps even longer) until the next CPU [Critical Patch Update] is reasonable especially when this bug is so easy to fix and easy to workaround. Again, I urge all Oracle customers to get on the phone to Oracle and demand the respect you paid for.
