Even though this may sound sh1tty, I for one might be glad to see Sun not
release updates, and instead look for the community to meet that need. Seems
that Mike and pkgmaster and others at least release patches that don't
require a patch to the patch. They also seem to beat Sun on patches by a
week to months! I might even be willing to start paying, if it meant getting
current software installed (Never thought I would say that).
