Actually, Roger, that's not really true anymore.
Oracle has recently announced the concept of a PSU, or patch set update.
So, if you're on 10.2.0.4.0, and you apply the first PSU on 10.2.0.4.0, you'll be running 10.2.0.4.1. After the second PSU, it will be 10.2.0.4.2.
This is very new. I've never seen a PSU, let alone applied one, but, they're starting w/ 10.2.0.4, and later plan to add one for 11.1.0.7.
See MetaLink Doc ID 850471.1 for full details.
