Is that 10 days from vuln dislosure, or from patch availability?

The latter can be a headache, especially if 24-48 hours pass between when the
patch actually hits the streets and you get the e-mail, or if you have other
legal mandates that patches be tested before production deployment.

The former is simply unworkable - you *might* be able to deploy mitigations
or other work-arounds, but if it's something complicated that requires a lot
of re-work of code, you may be waiting a lot more than 10 days for a patch....
