Building on Steve's point #2.  Last night when i applied the patch to my 
system, there were 70 servers, 90% of them were pinging 200 or more. 
These were those home users throwing up servers (and making the patch 
look bad) because the GSPs had nothing for their linux servers.  I 
rushed to install on my Windows servers and had one with 12 users on it 
in less than 30 seconds (i'm 100% serious).

I will say that the new features are quite impressive.  I think the 
patch was well thought out up until the point of release.  Thanks to 
Activision, IW, Grey Matter and Ryan for their hard work.  But please 
listen to our pleas and choose your release dates more wisely. 
Simultaneous releases are the way to go!
