You will *not* see Debian or anyone else trying to spin this into
"..oh we have 'way, 'way fewer vulns than Micro$oft does so we're
'way, 'way better..."


That's Micro$oft's motive, pure and simple, for releasing multiple
patches in the fewest possible packages.

Then in two months or six months some bullsh*t TCO study will say "Oh,
look, Micro$oft has so, so few patches!!"
