To repeat what Luca Berra was kind enough to send to the list earlier:

That said, I think you're mistaken as to the importance of software on that
server. Nothing found there should be of mission critical importance to anyone
whose IT strategies are at all thought out; conversely, if software on that
server is mission critical to your site, you should be mirroring that software
24/7/365 to protect your own interests.
IMNSHO, if you're so desperate for a software patch that a few days matter, you
should spend the time considering how you got into your current predicament.
