Yes there will be many who say, Apple has just made that wall around their garden even taller.

Allowing patching this way was probably a mistake and the NSA/CIA docs released this week may well have given Apple the hint that it could be used for bad things. So for the protection of the many, a feature for the few is removed.

Any software developer worth it knows that releases have to follow a process. Yes I have gnashed my teeth at times like when it took 3 weeks to get a 2 line code change put into production but that's life.

Live with it or move to another profession like Grave Digging perhaps?

Perhaps I'll get the downvotes instead of you?
