Carrier,
I'm sorry but your post is yet more mindless drivel posted by the resident PPRuNe Apple bashing community.
As someone who manually installed that NTP patch this very afternoon by clicking "INSTALL" after the little red flag indicator on "App Store" illuminated to tell me there was an update available, I can very much tell you that you are talking out of your backside if you seriously think Apple are somehow secretly installing this patch automatically.
Further more, you may wish to do your homework and research System Preferences available before you start ranting away in the future....
