Incidentally, I've been using 1.0.1 (hadn't noticed there was a new
version), and even for older Solaris versions (no potential for version
numbering confusion) the list may not be 100% right - there's a tendency to
list patches that won't even install (because they're for uninstalled
Solaris components), while security patches for add-on software (not part of
Solaris itself) may well be omitted... Presumably at least in part a
question of what's included in the patchdiag.xref data files downloaded from
SunSolve.
