Again, and I could be wrong, are people in your situation the majority? It could be that a tiny fraction need to fully reinstall all the patches, another small minority lie anywhere in between (in that case they're still worse off because they don't need the whole thing either), and the rest of us are up to date as the new patches come. For most people reinstalling everything is a complete waste.
