While this isn't complete, it only shows Microsoft patches, it is
nonetheless interesting to note the explosions particularly in October of
2002 and April and October of 2003.  I tried copying this to Excel and
producing a timeline graph, but there's too much data.  Need to consolidate
by month or quarter.

Subject: Rate of patch releases


I'd love to see a stat/chart about the rate at which patch release has
increased over the last few, even ten, years.  Understandably, software has
gotten more complex and there are more lines of code - more bugs, white hats
beating the stuff up to get their 15 minutes, etc., so it would be
interesting to look at raw numbers as well as a relative perspective.  Does
anyone know if Gartner, et. al. has anything like this?
