I would think that going through a complete release cycle with the patch
would be /more/ trackable than just tossing a bunch of new JAR files
into a directory. You would also get the benefit of /testing/ the patch
instead of just crossing your fingers and doing a blind update on a
production machine.

But that's just me.
