Ask Glenn Meadows what he thinks. He runs a webboard made by one vendor but
it includes SqlServer. Ask him who is responsible for the patches.

Personally I can't imagine buying (for example) Redhat and then having to
go to 20 different vendor websites to see if I'm currently patched. That
would be insanity.
