Have you ever managed a nontrivial installation of user-facing desktop systems? 'Cause if not, declaring the policy of a predictable, telegraphed-well-in-advance day on which security patches will drop "peculiar" kind of just reveals where your head's at.

The rate at which security vulnerabilities are reported/abused isn't predictable.

Please don't sit on a fix until the time is more "convenient", give it to me now and let me be the judge on how important this security patch is to me.

Because the patch can easily be reversed into the exploit, it has to be convenient for everyone in the herd to apply it at the same time unfortunately.
