Oracle has released the first Critical Patch Update scheduled for 2017, and it's massive. It fixes 270 vulnerabilities across multiple products, and over 100 of them are remotely exploitable by unauthenticated attackers.
The entire list of affected products and components is long, and Oracle advises users of all of them to implement the updates as soon as possible.
"The focus has shifted from Database and Java SE to critical business applications, as we predicted within the last 2 years," the ERPScan research team noted.
[...] The number of fixed issues is not the largest an Oracle CPU has ever delivered, but of the last five (since January 2016), four have passed the 240-mark.

It's a lack of time and motivation. To be honest, while I don't mind and even enjoy the IT managing of SN and occassionally writing articles, I haven't written any code for the codebase in months due to lack of desire. If I force myself, I'll burn out and disappear off the site for ages.
Still always moving
