Why don't use Cisco's experience and maintain 2 YOU directories?
- YOU release
- YOU early deployment
so that updates are going top the 'erly deployment' first, and if users dont
copmplain, they go to 'release' in approx 1 - 2 weeks.
It allows to test all updates before they are applied to the critical
production servers over the world.

The problem exists also with "pure" SP3 (uptodate with YOU), both i386 and
x86_64.
