Maybe You're correct, I'm no authority, just calling it as I see it. I'm
curious, do you have a authoritative source for your statement?

I must confess that after the reorganization after Oracle bought Sun I find
the changelogs harder to interpret. I can't seem to find the full list of
all bugs fixed in a release in the relase notes anymore. Didn't Sun usually
include a long table of all fixes in the relase notes? Or was that another
document? Compare with the table "Other Bug fixes" below:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/6u22releasenotes-176121.html

Anyway, back on topic. Let me quote from the release notes:

In update 1:
 "Bug Fixes This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For
  more information, please see Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update advisory."

update 2:
 "Bug Fixes Java SE 7u2 does not add any fixes for security vulnerabilities
  beyond those in Java SE 7u1. Users who have Java SE 7u1 have the latest
  security fixes and do not need to upgrade to this release to be current on
  security fixes."

update 3:
 "Bug Fixes This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For
  more information, see Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory."

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u1-relnotes-507962.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u2-relnotes-1394228.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u3-relnotes-1481928.html

I'd be happy to be proven wrong, and I'd be greatful if anyone could help
me find a more complete list of issues relsolved for each 7uN release.
