Re: patchsets and CPUs

I would consider the upgrade process as a separate task.

Especially if the database has a history of previous upgrades there's plenty of things that can go wrong during catpugrd without having the additional catcpu changes messing around with your data dictionary.

I always do the upgrade itself first, then apply any additional patches (only exception being interim patches for known bugs occurring during the upgrade process)
