This appears to be one of the key distinctions between Open Solaris and other Open Source operating systems. Proving these kinds of "updates" or patch bundles is a revenue stream for Sun and a matter or course for the others. For those of us coming from the BSD/Linux/et_al world it takes some educating as it isn't obvious at first blush. I am not saying it is bad. Just different. And, it explains why there are so many questions on this topic every week.
