Let's go back to the beginning. The Cobalt server is sold as an appliance
for those that know or need to know nothing about Linux. If I need to know
nothing about Linux to run it, why would I be searching the Internet for
software details? Many of the people buying the product, indeed the target
market for the product, don't know Linux from Linotype.
Install a patch not released by Cobalt and see what happens to your server
and warranty.
