And here lies the fallacy, the SMU looks like it's addressing just
single DDTS, but it's not. Imagine if that was the case. Imagine there
is bgpd which has bugs DDTS1, 2 and 3. How many permutations we can
get from these three bugs? Dunno the math, but it's lot, I think 15
permutations with just 3 bugs. And of course if bgpd gets 4th bug the
amount of permutations explodes.

This is clearly not how it works, when you pick up that fix for DDTS3
you're getting new bgpd version which has fixes for DDTS2 and DDTS1
also.
