"Hourly Patches" is one of the names I heard in the small HP-UX shop
in which I worked in the late 1990's. The system updates would
arrive on physical CD-ROM media fairly frequently (or so it seemed

FWIW, HP's HP-UX tech support at that time was really top-notch, in
sharp contrast to most other tech support with whom I've dealt,
before and since.
