I'm more curious about the reasoning to push this update to servers
already...
1.  Where was the testing? (Hopefully these are test servers).  This was
released about 4 hours ago. 
2.  Is IE used on servers to browse the Internet?  Could this not wait
until regularly scheduled maint windows?

I'd do it anyways as a best practice. But perhaps just nothing was using
those files at the time of the patch.  But I'd still force a reboot for
this one.
