Tag Synonym request: [patch] → [update]

Question

I'd like to request that patch be made a synonym of update. Or the other way.

While I know these are not synonymous in terms of functionality (a patch by definition will alter, rewrite, or remove files during the patching process), and update is a more fluid meaning (it could be a patch or just a new file to read from); In the end they both mean the same thing: Your game gets a shiny new version number and hopefully your head doesn't explode when you push jump (unless of course you are playing Eternal Darkness).

Answer 1

I found that update was a really weak tag at only ~8 questions, 3 or 4 of which were already closed.

I just edited away that tag, and we can go with the patch for now.
