in my career 30+ years, I've only applied a individual Hyper Group once or twice. And that was only because we actually had an issue (previous employer). Otherwise, I only update them during the cumulative.
I take a conservative view on PTF's in General. I'll do my Cumulative s a couple times a year, otherwise, if it's not broke, don't fix it.
I know this approach isn't for everyone. People need to decide which approach is best for them.

Q: Hit with what?
A1: Most anything listed in the Hiper group.
A2: Environmental changes like date changes for daylight savings time.
A3: Stuff like another thread from today like if disks run for x number of
hours without an update they go out of service and must be replaced.
A4: CVEs discovered since
A5: IBM changing how problems can be reported automatically. For example,
SFTP vs FTP, which ports/ip addresses are used, etc.

How do you ever wait a month to apply the hiper group when one never lasts
a month?
