  What's the story with a lot of SQL 2016 patches being marked "duplicate (do not use)"? It's not just one or two, it goes all the way back to CU1, and seems to be almost all of the patches, but there's no explanation or reference to what should be used or how to know if you have the equivalent patch.  Here's what SP3 looks like.

  

  Anyone know what Microsoft have done here?
