Well Dear, As much as In know,
1. The patch matrix lists only the minimum patch and the latest patch, when you should care most about the "recommended" patch.
2. Patch warnings and ratings are not taken into account in the patch matrix. See #1 above.
3. Patch dependency analysis is completely manual.
4. Figuring out whether patches apply to your system is completely manual (and time consuming)
5. The patch matrix only covers patches, and not security bulletins involving product updates. (e.g. Java issues updates, not patches, just like Sun does with Java). It is therefore not a complete solution, even after all the extra work you have to go through.
