You need to do some testing of course. "IMMEDIATELY" doesn't mean within 5 seconds. If you can't properly apply security updates in a reasonable time frame without it leading to major outages, something is extremely wrong with either the architecture, the chosen software or the QA and deployment strategy.

> without it leading to major outages

I think I would have preferred an outage over leaking millions of american's private information.

It's not the first time this has happened to a company, and it surely won't be the last. We've already had full 100% hindsight vision a dozen times over, and plenty of companies have chosen to ignore it.
