I know I've done some complaining and pointed out some bad things in the past...

I've noticed a nice improvement and I'd like to highlight it.

If I am reading correctly, it seems like the new patches are able to be installed over any previous version.

I am finding the 6.8 patches easy to apply and the accompanying documentation seems improved as well.

Thanks for the improvements ! 8) :D

I've been patching for almost 3yrs. This is the way to do it. No incremental patches.
