Brian,

There is a section in the form where you open an iTAR where it asks
you to explain why the latest patchset has not yet been applied. By
that, I do not believe that they mean the latest one-off patch - I
believe that they mean the latest full patchset that is
regression-tested. The one-off patches used to have boilerplate text
of ~  "you must have located this via a specific bug" or something to
that effect.

If you're still running a base release at this point, you're going to get grief.

Paul
