And your point is what? What suggestion for improvement do you have?
Have perfect knowledge of what patches will be bad and don't apply them?

You want me to claim ownership? Of what? Of applying the patch?

knows that too? What I shouldn't have applied it? Also known. But
what good does that do us now?
