At this point you likely won't.  The vast majority of patches to releases are
only for security advisories.  Very few errata are merged back to releases
currently.  It may be that we are too hesitant to do so, but the manpower
overhead of actually getting the changes merged back and getting appropriate
folks to sign off on everything is extremely high (and the exact process for
getting an EN approved is not very clear or really even documented to my
knowledge).
