There really isn't much of a problem getting patches
in my experience. Once I know what I want, our field
service office usually gets me the patch tape within
one day. I see no need for the patches themselves to
be online -- 24 hour service is just fine -- however,
putting a list of what patches are available online
would be very useful. Most users have no idea what
patches are currently available and which problems
they fix. If we had an online list of patches to
consult, we wouldn't waste so much time trying to
solve bugs for which there is already a fix.
