      This means their people are working writing/testing the patch too. I wonder how much nicer it might be for the internet backbones to take a holiday off.

      A holiday off? We can't do that, it might interefere with someone making money. This is the USA goddammit, we can't start placing quality time or family members above making money, we've got our priorities!
