Adobe Automatic updates

I have heard a rumor that Adobe is planning on creating patching options
that can be deployed through WSUS.  Has anyone else heard this or have any
additional information about this?

Thanks,

Jody

All,

I'm sure you're all aware that from Tuesday 13th April 2010 Adobe will be
releasing Adobe Reader 9.3.2. See here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/adobereader/2010/04/upcoming_adobe_reader_and_acro.ht
ml

It states "On Tuesday, April 13, 2010, as part of our quarterly update, we
will activate the new updater for all users needing Adobe Reader and Acrobat
9.3.2 and 8.2.2 for Windows and Macintosh. As of yesterday, April 7, 2010,
we have been activating our new updater for those users who are not yet
up-to-date with our latest versions. The purpose of the new updater is to
keep end-users up-to-date in a much more streamlined and automated way."

What I can't find out is if this will be for security patches, major
releases or both. Does anyone have more information?
