The widespread acceptance of open source continues to grow as a cost-effective alternative to traditional network deployments.

In the past two years, the industry has begun to shift from a total dependence on proprietary applications to a desire for more cost-effective, scalable and collaborative solutions.

What if the fix introduces another security hole? What if it breaks a major feature? I'm sorry, but except in extreme cases (say a worm thats been spreading over the net fast using the exploit), you need to properly test the fix first.
When possible, some companies do provide temporary workarounds until the fix is properly tested and released.
It requires a massive coordination to implement a proper fix.
