So we need to wait 6 months for security patches if an exploit which 
may affect us is discovered on the fourth Thursday of September? 
That's crazy! Let Enterprise customers wait if they want, I want my 
security patches ASAP so we can test them for a few days then deploy 
network wide. Does anyone else think this is not a rational change?
