Lee after me...

>Common sense tells me that I'd never veto a patch because is wasn't
stageable.

Well, it depends. If I'm "in a hurry" or want to avoid the SLT creation/update
and there are only a few (eg 2 or 3) patches in the PowerPatch bundle that do
not work with Stage/iX, then I have a closer look at the patches (press Return
while highlight bar is on the patch of interest) and decide whether I can live
without them or not (based on problem description, subsystem affected etc).

Unpatched bugs don't hurt me as long as I have no (or next to no) risk of
ever hitting them. Another example are Predictive patches bringing new rules
for new hardware devices that I do no currently have on my system...

>My comment was more of a "maybe if I say it, it will eventually come
>true" kind of statement.       :-)  :-)

Ah, yes, valid point :-)

Lars.
