You miss the three very important reasons why Oracle doesn't post patches:
- Oracle does not admit that there are bugs in its software, unless
pressed.
- You should pay for the fixes to the bugs that Oracle has installed.
- You must first encounter the well known, documented, and patched bug before Oracle will admit that it exists.
I really hate points 2 and 3, don't you?
