I've said before (and several people didn't agree) that the IPS patching system is a "stupid" patcher.
Not stupid as in a bad or ignorant method, but stupid as in it blindly paste data, no ifs, ands, or exceptions. The fact this method has stuck around so long shows it has been effective, and even in some limited examples ideal, shows it is/was an awesome creation.
My point being, any "inteligent" or selective patching method, that is functional, would be an advancement. I know alot of the patches I used to attempt could have benefited from selective patching options instead of the "choose your IPS" method used. However, sometimes... Simple is good.
Remember K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is often less problematic at the end of the day. New fancy techniques are cool to see though, and it is great to know that advancements have been made to the methods even this late in the game.

The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.
