I'm sorry, I misread your question in an alcoholic haze, apologies: I thought
you were asking why they are available prior to release.
Instead your question is a good one, its catch 22 whether you want your
machine to be vulnerable to some circulating 0-day or you want to installed a
hacked-around version that may have broken something else.... all without
knowing the reason for the fixes.
Its probably better to install the beta patches, since when I see
advisories-on-advisories fly by on the vuln lists they are usually reporting
incomplete fixes rather than breakages.
Apologies again for my uncalled for 'crankiness'.
