Don't know where you got your info, but if you go to the download page
http://sunsolve.sun.com/patches/cobalt/raq4.eng.html
there is a pdf document as the next line along with the text you posted.
http://www.sun.com/hardware/serverappliances/pdfs/support/RaQ_4_SHP_UG.pdf
You might want to read it.
If you check the user list, you will see there have a number of people that 
have already installed it.  So far no bad comments, only positive.
