If I'd be the only one using certain SWAT window and I'd need to deploy 5 patches per window, the first window I'll deploy 4 patches and the remaining would be rescheduled, the second window I'll have 1 patch rescheduled and 5 new patches (6 in total), 4 will be deployed, 2 will be rescheduled, the third window I'll have 2 patches rescheduled and 5 new patches (7 in total), 4 will be deployed, 3 will be rescheduled, etc. etc. etc. I'd have a constantly raising backlog of patches and will be enforced to a) reserve a window to deploy all waiting patches b) use another SWAT. This will cause even bigger pain after US holidays because then bigger SWAT windows are expected. I know that deploying 8 patches in a window is a problem (at least in EU SWAT window, don't use the other windows that much), but 4 is the other extreme. > > But point taken and thanks for the data. > > I'm comfortable with a 6 patch "limit".
