hi Gadi,

Perhaps the hold data will allow the APPLY job to figure out that only the 
latest ones in the chain actually need to be applied.
Ones in the chain may be superseded, so it's always worth an APPLY CHECK to see 
what's going on.

When downloading, the packaging system may be blindly pulling together related 
fixes, but I'm hoping the SMPHOLD will make the actual apply make sense.
