Please do not eliminiate individual, timely fixes. The administrator
can choose whether to apply the patches, and when to apply the patches,
and by noting posts to bugtraq, cert and similar venues, he can be
alerted to serious security problems that must be fixed immediately.
It would also suck a lot to lose the ability to simply freshen in a
mirrored errata dir. Please don't use service packs, the process is
fine the way it is.
