Still heavily? Really? Certainly not as heavily as they used to be
patched with Red Hat Linux. Last time I looked, the number of patches
was down to a few dozen or less. Compare that with a well-known other
Linux distributor, where you might need four digits for the number of
kernel patches applied. ;)
