  One clear symptom that you've got a case of "Penetrate and Patch" is
  when you find that your system is always vulnerable to the "bug of the
  week."  It means that you've put yourself in a situation where every time
  the hackers invent a new weapon, it works against you.  Doesn't that
  sound dumb?  Your software and systems should be secure by design and
  should have been designed with flaw-handling in mind.

  Patching shows an acceptance that the administrator has not 
  _solved the problem_ - it shows an acceptance that you have signed up 
  for an endless war that you cannot win.  Master Sun might say it 
  indicates you are stupid or, at the very least, hammered into stupidity 
  by the constant stream of vulnerabilities in mission critical-software. 
  It should be pretty obvious that constantly upgrading mission critical 
  software is a _bad_ idea from a systems-reliability standpoint, too.
