And that distinction is becoming less and less important.

For large companies and networks, I think we're going to see it all fall 
under the guise of asset management eventually. Sort of a 'what do we 
have, where is it and how secure is it' type of deal.

People that do only patch management are going to come upon harder 
times, as will companies that do only vulnerability management. We can 
already see the beginning; just look at mergers, acquisitions and 
lay-offs in the computer security industry.

(ethical disclaimer: I work for a company in the vulnerability 
management space)
