...As a result of the accelerated release of the Critical Patch Update, Oracle did not include a small number of fixes initially intended for inclusion in the February 2013 Critical Patch Update for Java SE. Oracle is therefore planning to release an updated version of the February 2013 Critical Patch Update on the initially scheduled date. ...
Considering that the earlier accelerated round of Java patches covered 50 security holes, it appears that this round will cover a number of holes under 50 that Java considers "small". One can but wonder whether this entire collection of patches will cover all or nearly all of the holes mentioned/implied in all those Java-critical security reports in recent months; in any case, it will probably take a fair length of time for security analysts to digest where things stand with Java after the 19 Feb update.

With just so many updates, does anyone know if I need to generate a new transform (.mst) for each version of the .msi or can I re-use one from an old version?
