You are jumping the gun a bit, and also drawing the wrong conclusions for the wrong reasons in some instances. First, the UOP, didn't come out in the first month of the release of Oblivion. It took a few months - around 4 months before the initial release. We are barely past the first 30 days of NV. So chill. There is already a "community patch" fixing bugs that the official one hasn't. Second, we already got an official patch in the first few weeks fixing many errors. Rendering some fixes in the "community patch", obsolete. Third, it sounds like we are getting another official big bugfix patch here in the next couple weeks if not sooner. Fourth, many "bug fix" patches are waiting to see what the next official patch does, so they don't waste time modding something that is going to be fixed soon anyway. Fifth, we are getting official patches for bugs, so far, much faster than we did for Oblivion or FO3. Sixth, you can do something like what I do, and just gather the fixes yourself in one mod, as many of the fixes are quite simplistic in their nature.
