What I feel is awful is the lack of information stored against each update.<p>It's all just "security" or "reliability" and possibly a link to a KB which says the same.<p>Some large organisations still have stalwart IT managers who insist not to apply updates unless they know it affects a specific issue that they have. And now that this information is unpublished they apply nothing. It's lost on me how they keep their jobs.<p>Oh well.
