In my view theres no problem in announcing single patches but a rolled up version of the patches doesn't address the real problem.
If you were new to ViArt and wanted to try it you would use the zip/exe/tar full distribution as a starting point. You wouldn't know about the patches unless you stumbled across the forum.
So perhaps the correct course of action from ViArt is to:
A - Update the full distribution with any new patch.
B - Announce the patch and its download location as present.
This is of course dependent on ViArt being confident the patches work
