Questions about PreReq Check for adpatch

I have a few questions regarding setting options=prereq for the adpatch utility.
As I understand it, in the past the prereq option defaulted to options=prereq but the default was changed to options=noprereq starting in AD.I.2.


Our company is thinking of changing our corporate policy to set our default prereq check option to options=prereq so that pre-requisite patches are checked and verified automatically by adpatch before it applies the patch. 
I remember in the Oracle training class I took entitled "11i Install, Patch and Maintain Oracle Aopplications" (Edition 4.0), chapter 23 page 34 discussing the prereq AutoPatch Option states: "We do not recommend using noprereq, as prereq prevents you from applying a patch without first applying all required prerequisite patches."

Howdy, Stranger!
