It does rather beg the question of what expectations we're building from
a customer point of view with the update releases - clearly they're not

Update Releases were never just bug fixes. They were explicitly introduced
as a way to deliver new features between the full releases. (I joined Sun
as the Desktop group was working on the X11R6.0->X11R6.4 upgrade and various
new CDE features for the Solaris 7 11/99 update release.)
You can see the way we've been setting this customer expectation for years:
"Several times a year, Sun offers updates to the Solaris operating system. The
updates are designed to provide new functionality in a controlled, compatible
fashion."
