It was not known that it had problems.
That fact that person X said patch Y had a problem doesn't necessarily
mean that patch Y has a problem.
1. The problem in the past might not apply in the present
2. The problem X person had might be specific to his/her setup
3. The problem might be due a combination of patches, not the patch
itself
Plus many others.
A logical person sees evidence for what it is, and the only thing that
person X saying patch Y had a problem means, is that person X said patch
Y had a problem.
