Patching Idea
I know this has been brought up in the past (I just got back from taking a few months off). But I can't believe that we have not simply kept the pre-patch files on an ftp server so that people with brand-new installs could patch to that version without going with the latest.
First off, we know what files are patched from the log. We know which ones to roll back to if the patch occurs. Second, the patch files themselves are usually not in large numbers so bandwidth usage should not be huge for the few people who need the updated, but still pre-patch files.
I can do this on my own if no one else wants to help, but I would still need a place to put these files so other could download and manually patch their installs.
