However, an IPL is not required--IIRC the PTF cover letter will notate such
a requirement. In this case, it sounds like ending the subsystem, applying
the PTF, and restarting the subsystem is all that's required.

An IPL can be inconvenient for many users and IT professionals alike.

While true, I assume Michael knows if he can IPL or not..

Personally, I've always preferred to install all PTFs delayed and have them
applied at IPL.
