Surely these aren't the kind of updates which should be applied within a
release cycle anyway? A new release is the time you'd expect to get a major

2) At home I have a cap on how much I can download except for an unlimited
window overnight (midnight - 6am I think). Do I now have to wait up to
upgrade my machines rather than doing the initial upgrade from media and then
picking up updates automatically the next night?
