I agree with Makeshift. They should have at least given a "thanks to".

Ah, so it's reported as a maximum aggregate this time instead of "ALL OF THEM ARE CRITICAL, HIT THE DECK!!11!" like last time.

So they have a critical update, but won't give it to us yet?????

I recommend tar and feathers for the ones behind their "once a month" patch release strategy....
