Can you explain to me how we have a patch this Thursday outside of the 2 week schedule that officially started 2 days ago, and we couldn't have patched EoF on schedule last Thursday? I don't want to directly accuse DPG of having no credibility, clearly I must just not be savvy enough to understand why its possible today but not last week. Maybe use small words?
it was a hot fix to address a problem or problems that just could not wait till the next maintenance .
A hot-fix is an update to the executable and doesn't require data updates either on the front end or back end databases. From a QA standpoint this is much much safer.
