It seems Oracle has jumped on the regular patch scheduling idea. They will be releasing 'critical' patches quarterly. That just seems completely ridiculous to me. How can you leave your customers without 'critical' patches for 3 months? I understand the need for scheduling, but come on?

This is something I have spoken about before, but it is nice to have a big vendor backing me up. Releasing patches on a regular schedule doesn't make sense. The argument for it is that it makes things easier for firms as they can schedule their patching
