I mean, instead of running 5.1.2P1, P2, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, or D7 (deep breath) I'd like to run 5.1.2 with the patches i feel i'd like to have.
I think that's an even worse idea. If you think that Netapp's QA is bad now (and I'm not saying it is), you've just increased their workload exponentially because they have to test each combination of patches to make sure they all work together in whatever combination a user might pick.
My experience is that Netapp's patches for specific problems are generally very good, but there always seem to be a couple of large bugs in new releases that many customers run into right away that should have been caught in testing.
