How does this impact things like security bug fixes and the like, things that
people with stable systems want to apply as soon as they are available? Do
they just get queued up until the next major release in (up to) six months time?
The other systems admin guys in my office weren't comfortable with me
installing Open Solaris on our office server for precisely this reason: there's
no explicit policy or handling schedule for security alerts and fixes. Or have
I missed reading some other policy statement?
