I think it was a good move. While the risk may be lower than with the
previous patches, I'd rather a small amount of downtime than my VM
getting compromised by something that I have no control over. You do it
at a time of the night when it is likely to be of least inconvenience,
and you give us as much notice as you can, and I can't ask for more than
that.
