Geoff,
What's up? Are you no longer employed by Altium? From some of your
comments I would have to believe that you are no longer employed or probably
very soon will not be employed by Altium.
Your actual comments quoted below should confidently be altered to "For
forever and a day" rather than "For some time though,...". I can vouch for the
fact that those practices have been the norm going back to version 1.0 of PFW.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander

For some time though, SPs have contained a mix of bug fixes and new features
(and the new features haven't always been bug free - and typically are
buggy). It would be one thing to effectively pay for new SPs if the
application was bug-free, so that the SPs subsequently contained *just* new
features - but most of us know that Altium's products (like most
applications for that matter) are *not* like that (i.e. bug-free). While new
SPs customarily contain *some* bug fixes, there is nothing atypical about
bugs of a truly serious and/or obnoxious nature (such as those impacting
upon output generation and DRC checking) "enduring" for SP after SP after
SP - and even after succeeding new (major) versions.
