I had a thought about the "old days" when I was dealing more with Solaris, and you received "patch" files. And, if you look at the slides they refer to Oracle providing "patches and updates".

Are they defining any package update as "future" versions of software? And trying to extol patchfiles as superior? The mind boggles.
