Oracle's ELのみの修正の数

Partner Certification(Certification with Oracle Enterprise Linux 4) 作成日:2007/08/29 では

ラクルでは、常に少数のパッチのみを適用させます。

とあり、Partner Certification(Certification with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5) 作成日:2007/08/23 では

同時に5件を超えるパッチを適用することはありません。

とあり、Data sheet: Certification with Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 (PDF) 作成日:2008/04/22 や Data sheet: Certification with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (PDF) 作成日:2008/04/22 では、

Oracle does not have more than a handful of patches applied at any given time.

と統一されていた。

Update Releseの時点で 5つ*1とか 6つ*2だから、時に7つ*3や6つ*4になることに、不思議はないのだけれど。
