That's probably why they are batched. Because all of the fixes are bundled in one update.

Do not do extra work delaying, storing, batch announcing. Announcements to recipients not delayed, without flooding.> > -- > pi at opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 One year to go ! >Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, Consultant Systems Engineer, BSD Linux Unix, Munich Aachen Kent http://stolenvotes.uk Brexit ref. stole votes from 700,000 Brits in EU.
