Hello Wayne,
Charlie responded with as good an answer as there is to this:
From: "Charlie Russel - MVP
"This has always been the rule for hot fixes. Some eventually migrate out
to
visible, others do not. But the reason is that hot fixes are NOT as
thoroughly beta tested as service packs, and sometimes get interim updates
or issues that develop. This way they can track them. And make sure that
you
really need to hot fix before they give it to you. They do NOT want them
installed except where it's really needed. (I know, I know, and I
absolutely
agree with you. But that's the rationale I was given when I asked.)"
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
