The major OS updates that come out include all the lower
leve patches.  For example:

Update 2.0 will contain all 1.0.x patches as well as some
other bug fixes.

So if you are wanting to install a 3.0.x and all you installed
is Update 1.0 and a few 1.0.x patches, you can just go straight
to Update 2.0, then Update 3.0, then the 3.0.x patches.

I hope that makes some sense... :)
