At some shops, being unable to install a fix for a single bug is a
major issue. The point of SMP/E is not to just use it as a packaging
tool for the entire product but also to use it as a tracking tool for
individual fixes. To keep your customers happy when they ask for SMP/E
packaging, you have to not only use it but to use it properly.
