Why not patch it now
If it is such an emergency why wait? I think patch Tuesdays is stupid.

They should release patches on going. We can't patch a hole cause it not the one Tuesday of the month is dumb. This time we will make a excepting and call it an emergency.


Firefox patches within days of holes. This is why I don't use IE.
