How many update packages are too many?

I love blaming system stability problems on the old “too many update packages”.  How credible is this in the modern JD Edwards environment, from my experience – not very.

I agree that it used to have weight, but honestly – I do not think that you are going to have stability issues because of too many update packages, look at this screen shot:

This is a small font, but we actually have 129 update packages – any everything is working fine.

We all need to remember that we are not dealing with spec files anymore, so the old spec file corruption is not a problem.

I must admit, I think that 129 is too many – I’d tidy this up with a full – but it’s not causing any problems.  The correct mods are being deployed and are working.

Anyone else got an opinion?

PS.  I’m nerdily excited about 9.2.3 being released.  I even checked the update centre this morning and found nothing…  Waiting…
