Thomas - I think their response to you was too generalized. I hope what
they meant to/should have said was that it's not possible to get
any individual fix into a formalized package of fixes already tested as
a suite and known to work together. However, a fix-test package *should*
be made available to you asap: that is unformalized and can be put together
without all the steps needed to create a full package suitable for the
world in general. As with any fix-test package, you have to watch out
for gremlins...the "adverse effects in testing a new drug".
