Yes, that's easy if you dealing with one server. But it is very different when you have to apply those patches to 20 different servers that are in different locations. Having a local cvsup server doing this job tends to make updating easier. In any case, and IMHO this was not the proper time for this kind of advisories considering the fact that many companies are in a freeze period.
