your search shows that linux updates break things, with all the alpha patches out there i don't doubt that that is very much true, his point was that redhat update doesnt break things, which is imho pretty true

the other point that you make is that less than 1 in 100 users were affected by the webdav patch, and therefore he is wrong in saying it broke his machine

i dont know how many people applied the webdav patch but i think it might be reasonable to assume that he could be one of them
