Why doesn't everyone just exclude the "important" packages on your critical 
production servers? Seems like the most logical thing. 

You wouldn't want Java updating on a whim on many weblogic / tomcat servers.. 
so you just exclude em.. 

But after reading this, I think i'll have to implement searching for 
the .rmpsave's, seems as though many have gotten bitten.
