I didn't remove any of the AD patches, just some of there stuff in the arsdigita-aol3 directory (make-src-dist.sh, install-aolserver-binary, etc.) Stuff that I didn't find useful. I still use there patch. I jsut didn't see a need for them.
I've used Jerry's patches on quite a few boxes without problems and I don't see a problem with them (once again, this started as something for me). That said, I never look into what impact Jerry's pactches might have but I personally haven't seen any on the small sites I used it with.
IF there is a need for a "best of patches" for OpenACS I can take this and clean it up to create it. As I said this started as something for me (I have serveral source tree's like this). I'd be more than happy to create it to something useful for others.
If this is going to be for wide spread use I think I'd have one with "virtual hosting" and one without.
